AFCON 2025 (Round of 16):
- Morocco 0-0 Tanzania (Half-Time)
The opening stanza between Morocco and Tanzania at the on-going round of 16 stage in the 2025 AFCON 2025 is all square, goalless.
The Prince Moulay Abdellah stadium is yet to witness any goal from the two sides after the first 45 minutes.
The hosts Morocco have been dominant with a lion’s share of the ball possession and chances created.
Perhaps, Tanzania had the first opportunity in the game when JS Kabylie forward Saimon Msuva headed over from close range off Alphonse Msanga’s delivery on the right.
Morocco had a goal disallowed by Ismael Saibari on the quarter hour mark.
Tanzania has had two players cautioned; Ibrahim Hamad and Feisal Abdallah n the 14th and 45th minutes respectively.
Close misses by Brahim Diaz, El Kaabi and Bilal keep the game level thus far with Tanzania playing a disciplined game.
