Morocco extend Group B lead with commanding Central African Republic victory


Morocco’s dominance of Group B in the TotalEnergies CAF Africa Cup of Nations Morocco 2025 Qualifiers continued on Saturday, 12 October as they outclassed Central African Republic to make it three out of three wins in their group. A clinical display by the Atlas Lions concluded with a 5-0 win for next year’s TotalEnergies CAF Africa Cup of Nations hosts, as they build momentum to staging the biggest event on African soil. Assedine Ounahi’s first half brace alongside Adbe Essalzouli, Achraf Hakimi and Soufiane Rahimi’s goals ensured Morocco’s third straight win of the group. The Atlas Lions now lead the pack with a healthy five points, ahead of Gabon who played out to a goalless draw with Lesotho on Friday evening. Central African Republic will be hoping to redeem themselves and put Saturday’s misery behind them when they welcome the Atlas Lions for the return leg on the same evening.
