“We’re very happy, long live Morocco. We knew…” “My brother had said that Morocco would win, and it finally came true. Dima Maghreb”.
Our correspondent Wahany Sambo reports that “the Under-23 African Cup comes to a close with a fine victory for Morocco. The Moroccans beat the Egyptians by 2 goals to 1.
