Morocco’s reign as Group B leaders in the TotalEnergies CAF Africa Cup of Nations Morocco 2025 Qualifiers continued with a resounding 5-0 victory over Central African Republic on Saturday, October 12th.
The Atlas Lions showcased their dominance, securing their third consecutive win in the competition.
The match was a one-sided affair from the outset, with Morocco’s clinical finishing proving too much for their opponents.
Assedine Ounahi scored a brace in the first half, while Adbe Essalzouli, Achraf Hakimi, and Soufiane Rahimi added further goals to seal the victory.
With this win, Morocco now sits atop Group B with a comfortable five-point lead over Gabon, who drew with Lesotho in their match. The race for qualification remains intense, and the upcoming matchday will be crucial for all teams.
Gabon will travel to Lesotho for their return leg on Tuesday, while Central African Republic will host Morocco in a must-win encounter.
