This is already the second goal disallowed for Nigeria in this game—let's recall, in the first half, Nigeria had a goal ruled out due to a foul by striker Paul Onuachu, who used his elbow in the challenge.

Despite their attacking intent and several dangerous moments, Nigeria continue to struggle to break the deadlock. As of the 55th minute, the score remains 0-0.

Reminder: According to reports, Morocco defender Achraf Hakimi is dating the famous actress and dancer Nora Fatehi.
