Corner for Congo to follow
Aguirre clears the ball with his head for a corner.
Second cool-down break of the match
Players from both teams will refresh themselves, with 20 minutes left to play, organizations are called upon to contribute under the beating sun.
Morocco are in control for the moment
Rhythm doesn’t pick intensity, heat definitely has something to do with it. This suits Morocco, who manage their lead in the score.
Ziech tried his luck from 40 meters
The Moroccan winger tries his hand at a full-axis free kick, without success.
Only 30 minutes left to play
Quite a timid start to the second half from both teams. A few opportunities and momentum that dropped off after the first act.
Ziyech is directly focused on Mpasi
Morocco tries a replay in the air without danger to the Congolese goalkeeper.
Masuaku hits from distance
The Congolese are unable to really threaten the Moroccans in the game, so Arthur Masuaku tries from distance without bothering Bouno.
Hit up Ounahi
A new opportunity for Morocco. Azzedine Onahi breaks into the area but misses the target.
Morocco missed a big chance
Achraf Hakimi sends a good cross down the ground, Boufal pulls away to cut in at the far post but misses his effort.
Congo gets the first chance of the second act
Congo had their first corner of the second half, Batubinsika seeing his effort wide.
Start of second half
Kick-off awarded by Kongy.
Morocco lead 1-0 at half time
Morocco lead Congo at half-time. Achraf Hakimi opened the scoring in the sixth minute. Cedric Bakambu could have equalized before half-time but missed his penalty.
4 minutes left to play
With Morocco still leading 1-0, it’s been a few minutes since there have been any dangerous chances.
More rubbish in these last minutes
On both sides, the less the game is applied, the more mistakes are made.
11 minutes of added time
Due to several stoppages in the game during this first period, the referee awarded 11 minutes of extra time.
Another yellow card for Morocco
Hakim Ziyech takes Pickel’s ankle, logically punished with a card.
Cedric Bakambu misses his penalty!
Cedric Bakambu comes up against Yassin Bounou! His penalty was turned onto the post by the Moroccan goalkeeper. Morocco is still ahead.
Penalty for Congo!
Salim Amallah is penalized for his hand in the area, also receiving a yellow card. Congo can equalize with this penalty.
Possible penalty for Congo
Referee Peter Waweru watches the video for a potential handball from Moroccan midfielder Amallah.
The game has not yet resumed
A lot of time should be added to that, with Inonga still unbeaten.
The game is closed
Inonga is on the ground. The Congolese defender is open at head level. We will probably also see VAR for referees with a possible Moroccan hand in the area.
Fear for Morocco
Gael Kakuta takes his free kick well but there is no one to cut.
Big mistake by Romain Saiss
Free kick off-centre to the right for Congo. Romain Saiss is behind Bongonda, surprisingly he hasn’t picked up a card.
Kongy misses a side corner
Yoan Wisa doesn’t pick up his ball, Morocco come out calm.
Beautiful conservation of Morocco
The game restarted and Yoan Visa organized for Congo. He finds Bakambu but Saiss saves well for the Moroccan.
First cool break of the match
It’s hot on the San Pedro side and the referee stops the game for a cool-down break.
Free kick missed by Congo
Yoan Wisa missed this set piece, a shame as chances are rare for Congo.
Totally misses Ziyech
Hakim Ziyech tries from 35 metres, but his shot goes well.
Morocco has the ball
With just over 56% possession, Morocco changes the game well and logically leads after 20 minutes of play.
An-Nessiri misses his head
Well spotted by Bouffle, the Sevilla FC striker can’t fool the Congolese goalkeeper.
The Moroccans look for An-Nessiri’s header
A new center is attempted by Achraf Hakimi but Youssef N-Nessiri is not found this time.
First Congo angle
Chancel Mbemba gets the ball but the Leopards captain is surprised to receive the ball.
Hakeem Ziyech tried his hand at distance
Congo are giving up a lot of space in Morocco at the moment. Hakim Ziyech strikes from 25 meters but his low shot doesn’t trouble Mpasi.
Buuuuut for Morocco!
The Atlas Lions couldn’t have got off to a better start. Hakim Ziyech sent an outgoing corner alone on the penalty spot to Achraf Hakimi who scored with a half volley. Morocco has started strongly.
The referee solved his problem
After more than two minutes of time-out, the game can be restarted with a Moroccan corner.
Play stopped
Minor problem with the headset for the center referee who went to see the fourth referee.
A big opportunity for Morocco
Youssef N-Nessiri tripped Congolese goalkeeper Mpasi after a brilliant header early in the match.
