Paris 2024: Atlas Lions Dominate Iraq to Secure Quarter-Final Spot

Morocco’s Olympic football team delivered a masterclass performance on Tuesday evening, securing their place in the quarter-finals of the Paris 2024 men’s football tournament with a resounding 3-0 victory over Iraq.

The match, held at the iconic Allianz Riviera stadium in Nice, showcased the Atlas Lions’ determination and skill as they dominated their opponents from start to finish.

From the opening whistle, Morocco’s intent was clear. The team, led by the talismanic Achraf Hakimi, pressed high and attacked with purpose, looking to settle the tie early.

Their efforts bore fruit in the 19th minute when Amir Richardson, displaying remarkable agility, finished off a well-orchestrated team move to break the deadlock.

The Moroccan onslaught continued, and just ten minutes later, Sofiane Rahimi doubled their lead with a clinical finish that left the Iraqi defense in disarray.

The first half rout was completed in the 36th minute when the highly-rated Abde Ezzalzouli added a third, effectively ending Iraq’s resistance and securing Morocco’s passage to the next round.

The second half saw Morocco manage the game professionally, controlling possession and nullifying any attempts by Iraq to mount a comeback.

The clean sheet will be particularly pleasing for coach Issame Charaï, whose defensive organization was impeccable throughout the match.

This victory puts Morocco a step closer to an Olympic medal but also continues the nation’s recent football success following their historic World Cup semi-final appearance in 2022.

The team’s fluid attacking play and solid defensive foundation will give them confidence as they prepare to face the United States in what promises to be an exciting quarter-final clash.
