00:00And it is a 4-1 victory for Morocco.

00:07We'll see if Gebel can turn it around at home.

00:09You know they will look forward to that.

00:12Both teams already qualified for the next stage of the 2025

00:16Total Energy's Africa Cup of Nations.

00:19But a victory would matter greatly for both of them.

00:24Morocco, in their white kit, will

00:26be going from right to left.

00:29Gabon, the Panthère, in their yellow and blue,

00:32will be tacking from left to right.

00:34First long ball in, it finds Abdelzazouli.

00:38He's on the left wing, very comfortable

00:39in these positions.

00:41He doesn't look to play it back, and Anthony Oyonnax

00:44defends it well.

00:46Gebel already under a little bit of pressure

00:47here on a kit that doesn't seem to be in the best condition.

00:54Earned his first cap for country under Mouyouma.

00:57That's a great long ball to Anthony Oyonnax.

01:00He finds Guylain Canga, the experienced midfielder.

01:04Denis Boingas inside the box, he's taking touches.

01:06What can he do with it?

01:07He shoots it, and it goes in!

01:08Denis Boingas opens the scoring to the delight

01:13of the Stade de France Ville.

01:14And look at what it means to him.

01:16The LAFC striker, 30 years old, but celebrating

01:21as if it was one of his first goals ever.

01:23And that's his 10th for country.

01:25And he beats the goalkeeper, Yassine Bounou,

01:28with a beautiful strike from the left-hand side of the box.

01:32Denis Boingas, shocking what they

01:35wanted to see, an early goal, putting them forward.

01:37Not exactly their usual, but the speed of Denis Boingas

01:41was too much.

01:42Of course, he used the overlapping run

01:44by his fullback, Jaco Ecomier.

01:46He was on a two versus one situation

01:48versus Ashraf Hakimi.

01:50And with the inside of his right foot, he curls it,

01:52just beating the goalkeeper, Bounou,

01:55who dives for it but cannot get enough or get anything to it.

02:02Does a somersault to sell it.

02:04At one point.

02:08And that's a good ball, and that's a goal!

02:10Jamel Arcas!

02:11Ashraf Hakimi delivering a wonderful cross,

02:14and that's the equalizer.

02:16Jamel Arcas on his third match ever for Morocco.

02:20Equalizes for the Lyon de l'Atlas.

02:24A free kick provoked by Elias Benseguir,

02:26taken by Ashraf Hakimi, which was a little bit unusual,

02:29given how all those set pieces were taken by Elias Benseguir,

02:33was the secret sauce.

02:34And Jamel Arcas found himself in space at the back post

02:38and knew exactly what to do with it,

02:40send him back across the goal.

02:42And Louis Mbaba, from point-blank range,

02:45could not do anything about it.

02:47The ball from Ashraf Hakimi was an absolute peach

02:50in such a dangerous area.

02:52Just at the foul on it, it was Benseguir that led to the goal,

02:54and Benseguir taking the corner again.

02:57Oh, it does cause problems, and Brahim Diaz sneaks behind

03:00and puts the ball in the back of the net!

03:01He pokes it!

03:02It looks like it was in between the legs!

03:04And look at that, what it means to him.

03:06Brahim Diaz, who was in the stands for match day three

03:09against Central African Republic, now on the pitch

03:12and puts his side 2-1.

03:15The 25-year-old from Real Madrid comes from Spain

03:18to Gebel with purpose.

03:25He's not having the easiest season at Real Madrid,

03:28struggling for game time as his club has recruited

03:32new offensive elements.

03:36But the mental strength of Brahim Diaz

03:38and the speed, of course.

03:40He was forgotten at the back post, makes the most of it,

03:43and just toe-pokes the ball into the back of the net.

03:48Many shots that they had, but none were converted.

03:54And Benseguir almost finds another goal, and he does!

03:56Benseguir from the corner!

03:58It's all chaos in Brahim Diaz.

04:01Perhaps maybe one of the smaller players on the pitch,

04:03with 1.70m, scores two goals off a corner.

04:08What scenes at France Ville.

04:12Gebel not able to contain Lillon de l'Atlas

04:15from the set piece, the second post.

04:17And it is Benseguir who delivers a ball

04:20that was initially delivered to the first post,

04:22deflected by Abdel Zazouli.

04:24And it looks like there might have been a ping-pong

04:30over Alex Muketu to maybe Hakimi.

04:32But at the end, it doesn't really matter

04:34because Brahim Diaz is at the conclusion of the play.

04:38And these corners...

04:39The Laval-born striker now playing his club football

04:41in Saudi Arabia for Al-Qaeda.

04:44Obviously, first half of football,

04:45it is 3-1 after 45 minutes of play.

04:48Nearly, Obegabon, give him a little chance with the Morocco.

04:52You seem to still roll them in,

04:55a little less than six minutes with three goals.

04:59It is 3-1 after 45 minutes of football.

05:02We're going to take a short break.

05:03We're going to come back with the highlights

05:05of this 4-goals, 3-1, Morocco at the 4th.

05:14And we're underway for the second half.

05:17The Lyon de l'Atlas in their white kits

05:19now attacking from left to right.

05:23Gabon going from right to left.

05:26First half was...

05:27The story of the first half really had to be the set pieces

05:29where Morocco found a lot of success

05:31off the free kick and the corners.

05:36Causing havoc in the box for Gabon.

05:40Not to be underestimated.

05:42Not to be underestimated for 20.5 million euros

05:45from Kersi Gent, tricky midfielder.

05:47And that's exactly what we'd like to see.

05:49Ismail Saibari, good cross in.

05:51And that's a ball into Youssef En-Nesyri.

05:53And that's the fourth goal of the night.

05:54Youssef En-Nesyri gets his 21st for Morocco.

05:58And just when Walid Rekhragi made substitutions

06:01like the introduction of Ismail Saibari and Bilal Elhanous,

06:04that's the moment that Morocco gets their fourth.

06:08En-Nesyri, who's re-found his form for Fenerbahce,

06:13confirms it with Morocco.

06:15The player who came was one of the best players for FC Sevilla.

06:19Now in Fenerbahce, he is a goal-scoring machine.

06:24And look at the positioning.

06:25He is not offside.

06:26He goes behind the back of Uri Michel Mboula

06:30and Ismail Saibari, who's had a habit of making an impact

06:34off the bench for his club, PSG Eindhoven.

06:37The 23-year-old midfielder delivers an absolute beautiful ball.

06:41Of course, Youssef En-Nesyri, we're used to seeing score from the head.

06:44But this time it's a low cross.

06:46Putting the ball in between his legs on his first two touches.

06:50And Ismail Saibari as well.

06:51Look at the technique on this gentleman.

06:52And what a goal it is by Ismail Saibari.

06:56Wow.

06:57It all started with that Amaznou.

06:59And then Ismail Saibari with his trademark washing of the hair celebration.

07:02He scored one of those goals against Girona in the Champions League.

07:06It was cancelled.

07:07And he celebrated in the same fashion.

07:09But this time, there's no cancelling or denying this goal.

07:12Ismail Saibari is a special talent.

07:15And on his eighth appearance, gets his first goal.

07:17And Walid Regraghi can celebrate as well

07:20because his substitutions have truly paid off.

07:23Ismail Saibari with one assist and one goal.

07:25And look how fast from Adem Aznou, the fullback or winger.

07:29And look at the double contact to get rid of Jeff Nguede.

07:33Completely eliminates him.

07:35Completely eliminates Anthony Oyono.

07:36And then Loïs Mbaba was no opponent for Ismail Saibari.

07:41And this player is really one to look out for,

07:45whether it's in the Rédévisé or even the Champions League

07:47or in the Africa Cup of Nations.

07:49And the fact that he did not start this match

07:51just shows the depth of talent that Morocco have.

07:55The impact that Ismail Saibari can make.

07:58The washing of the hair celebration.

08:00Joined by everyone.

08:06That is our game.

08:07It is 5-1, 5-1.

08:09The win by Morocco.

08:11Good game.

08:12Come on, put a good effort, Ben.

08:14They will be in the tournament.

08:16One more game left for both teams

08:19to say goodbye to the qualifiers.

08:21But today, today was Morocco's day with a 5-1.

08:26Morocco wins in five to one.
