A 7-0 triumph in Oujda secures a historic milestone for the Atlas Lions

Morocco finished their AFCON 2025 qualifiers with a big win, beating Lesotho 7-0 in an exciting match at the Stade Municipal in Oujda. This win not only showed Morocco's strong position in Group B but also tied their record for the biggest win ever, which they first got against DR Congo in 1996.

Diaz Scores Three Goals
AC Milan player Brahim Diaz was the best player in the game, scoring three goals in the first half at the 5th, 15th, and 42nd minutes. Sofiane Rahimi also scored two goals (37’, 45’), while Youssef En-Nesyri (68’) and Ismael Saibari (70’) finished the big win.

An impeccable record
Morocco won all of its games against Gabon, Lesotho, and the Central African Republic, finishing as the group leaders with 18 points from six games. The Atlas Lions were the only team with a perfect campaign, but they had already qualified as tournament hosts.
