CAN/World Cup qualifiers: Morocco bests Rwanda to lead Group

June 24th, 2008 | By: Mahmoud | 2 Comments »

Casablanca, June 23 – Morocco bested Rwanda 2-0 at the fourth game of the 2010 FIFA world cup/Africa nations’ cup qualifiers to join the Amavubi Stars at the leadership.

Seeking to take revenge over Rwanda after the large 3-1 defeat in Kigali, the Moroccans put their feet down on the accelerator at the outset of the game creating several goal opportunities.

By the 11th minute into the first half, Abdessalam Benjelloun was aggressed in the Rwandan area and the Algerian referee whistled a penalty for the Moroccans. Youssef Safri converted the penalty to open the score for the Atals Lions.

Five minutes later, the same Benjelloun came back to spread panic in the Rwandan camp with a wonderful shoot that shook the left goalpost of the Rwandan keeper. The Moroccans continued their solo dance in the Rwandan camp till the end of the last half.

After the second half whistle, the Moroccans raised the pace again by doubling the score at the 49th minute thanks to Liverpool player Nabil Ezher, who vibrated the Rwandan nets after a wonderful individual effort.

Moroccans have lost a series of obvious opportunities to increase the scoring and avoid goal-average calculations.
In the group’s other game, Ethiopia trashed Mauritania 6-1.

Standing:

1- Morocco 9
2- Rwanda 9
3- Ethiopia 6
4- Mauritania 0
