The match was a tale of two spot-kicks, with Brahim Diaz giving Morocco the lead from a penalty deep in first-half injury time and Sinayoko replying on 64 minutes. It also means Morocco have not yet confirmed their place in the knockout phase, although they are on top of Group A with four points from two games. Mali come next on two points alongside Zambia, who drew 0-0 with minnows Comoros earlier in Casablanca. The penalty changed the game a bit," Morocco midfielder Azzedine Ounahi told broadcaster beIN Sports. "We go into the third game with the same approach, to win the game and finish top of the group."
