In a remarkable display of skill and teamwork, Morocco's under-17 national football team triumphed in the Union of North African Football (UNAF) tournament, clinching the championship title and earning a coveted spot in the Africa U-17 Cup of Nations. The decisive match took place on Sunday at the Martyrs of Benina Stadium, where Morocco showcased their dominance throughout the tournament by winning all four of their matches.
The game commenced with an explosive start, as Adam Bougazir found the back of the net just two minutes into the match, granting Morocco an early lead. However, Libya quickly responded, leveling the score in the 10th minute with a goal from Mohamed Jroud. Undeterred, Bougazir struck again just before halftime, scoring his second goal to give Morocco a 2-1 edge at the interval. This pivotal moment shifted the momentum firmly in favor of the Moroccan squad, who demonstrated resilience and strategic acumen.
In the second half, Morocco continued to press their advantage, with Adnane Boujofi extending the lead to 3-1 in the 55th minute. This goal effectively dashed any hopes Libya had of mounting a comeback. The Moroccan team maintained their composure and tactical discipline for the remainder of the match, thwarting Libyan attempts to reduce the deficit and ultimately securing a comfortable victory.
This impressive victory highlighted Morocco's overall strength in the tournament, having previously dispatched Tunisia 2-0, Algeria 3-0, and Egypt 2-1. With their UNAF title secured, the Moroccan U-17 team is now poised to compete on an even larger stage at the upcoming Africa U-17 Cup of Nations, which will be hosted in Morocco, further igniting excitement among fans and supporters.
