00:00This match and this tournament underway in front of their home supporters.
00:08Uganda hoping to make their own slice of history over the coming weeks.
00:18An attempt to reach the Under-17 World Cup.
00:20Only defending to do for the centre-halves.
00:33Team Sheet has Uganda lining up in a 4-3-3. Coach Senyondo is known for
00:40preferring to play with three at the back so we'll see how that pans out.
00:50Finds Ouazan. Good ball towards the back post and there's the opening goal.
00:59It's taken less than two and a half minutes and Morocco
01:07thought they'd taken the lead but the flag is up on the far side.
01:12From Ouazan and this looks as though it will probably be overturned. Morocco
01:19surely have taken a third-minute lead. Ilyas Belmokhtar with the header
01:26placed it perfectly well on side.
01:3416-year-old with a fine header and it has been confirmed now. Morocco have taken the lead.
01:41Nabil Bahazmen with a brilliant start and a CEU celebration as well from Belmokhtar.
01:59And the very healthy crowd here who have turned up late at night to watch this game
02:06have been rewarded almost immediately.
02:12An immediate defeat. Here goes another good ball and it's 2-0 already. It's
02:19Ait Sheik at the back post. Up from the back and this is an incredible start for Morocco.
02:31It's a really good ball in again this time from Zachary El Kalafioui.
02:35The goalkeeper Lukia Mouzi staying on his line and Dries Ait Sheik taking full advantage.
02:46He's an excellent fan. You can probably scarcely believe it.
02:53It's a fine cross and Ait Sheik
02:59timed his leap to perfection. Had the run on the defender.
03:05And Lukia Mouzi had no chance in goal.
03:15Start they were hoping for.
03:19El Kalafioui gets it on for Belmokhtar who's gone down in the area
03:25and he wants a penalty. Corner is given.
03:30Well, did the defender get any sort of a touch on the ball here or not? Ghandan defenders.
03:39And referee Bahamou is going to go to the screen to have another look at this.
03:45Usually that means one thing.
03:52Ghandan defenders.
03:59And referee Bahamou is going to go to the screen to have another look at this.
04:06Usually that means one thing.
04:14Certainly doesn't look to be contact on the ball.
04:29Ryan Owino flying in. Bahamou is going to award a penalty here.
04:35The home team are going to have a chance to go three nil up. Some
04:39maybe premature celebrations already on the pitch.
04:48Certainly looked like a penalty live and now it has been given.
04:53With the opportunity to seemingly at least put this game out of Uganda's reach in just
04:59the 24th minute. It's an excellent penalty drilled into the bottom corner by Ziad Baha.
05:10Expertly taken.
05:14That was confidently stroked away for a boy of just 15.
05:2315 years of age. His dad applauds from the touchline and here.
05:40Short run up. Side foot but so much power behind it.
05:47Ashraf Lukiamuzi went the right way but got nowhere near the ball.
05:53Inquisitions going on in that Ugandan team. Just 15. That's really good work
06:02from Mouhoub and now here's Belmokta to make it four. Oh it just gets better and better for Morocco.
06:09Uganda are all at sea right now. That's a brilliant goal. It was a wonderful touch from Ahmed Mouhoub
06:18to create the space. The pass was perfect. The run from Belmokta was excellent
06:26and it's another superb goal.
06:35Absolutely fantastic and far too good at the moment for Uganda.
06:39Look at that for a touch from Mouhoub. Belmokta takes it expertly again. Look at this for a
06:48first two touches through the legs of Lukiamuzi who not for the first time
06:56tonight left completely exposed.
07:00It's that touch there from Mouhoub that created the chance.
07:04Oh that is half time. So Uganda put out of their misery for now. They're going to have to find a way
07:12to cope with this Morocco team after the break.
07:21It was a flying start that left Uganda shell-shocked.
07:28It was a flying start that left Uganda shell-shocked. Two goals in the opening eight minutes.
07:37One each for Ilyas Belmokta and Drisait Sheik. The pick of the bunch probably the fourth.
07:49It is the Ugandans who get us back underway.
07:58At the very least we'll be hoping for a much improved performance.
08:04This Morocco team
08:08look to be a very strong outfit.
08:15Thump forward by Moukisa.
08:20Decent ball out wide that from Kiakoua.
08:24Okello should keep this in. Gets it in towards the near post and it's
08:28a good diving header from Wanyama.
08:34They flooded the box for this corner kick.
08:40Decent delivery and the whistle does go for a foul on Belarus who came out bravely there.
08:49Drisait, his team are being put under some pressure now.
08:59That's good goalkeeping from Belarus.
09:01Belmokta sending a really good ball and this is a great chance for five.
09:18And there it is. Well they haven't done too much going forward in this second half Morocco but
09:26now they do add
09:27to the scoreline. It's Ziad Baha who got the final touch in the end. That's his second.
09:32He joined Belmokta in completing a brace in this game.
09:39It was in his Belmokta's delivery from the free kick that caused all the problems for Uganda at
09:44the back. No question of offside from the initial delivery.
09:50And Ziad Baha with the simplest of tasks and nodded in. It was the substitute Ismail
09:59Elahoudou's header went back across goal. It came off his shoulder actually.
10:08And it's a really good play from Kyakoua. Now Okelo
10:17trying to find some space for a cross. Does get it over towards the back post.
10:21It's an important defensive header from Monsef Zekri. It was a good cross.
10:29Trying to find some space for a cross. Does get it over towards the back post.
10:32It's an important defensive header from Monsef Zekri. It was a dominant display in the first half.
10:41An accomplished one in the second. It's a thumping 5-0 victory for the host to kick off
10:49the 2025 Under-17 Africa Cup of Nations.
10:54Ilyas Belmokta was the star of the show.
11:03Two goals for him and an assist.
