70 MINUTES FOR EN-NESYRI IN MOROCCO'S DEFEAT AGAINST SOUTH AFRICA (2-1)

Youssef En-Nesyri played 70 minutes in Morrocco's 2-1 defeat against South Africa at home. In contrast to the previous meeting, in which he came off the bench, the Sevilla attacker started the match alongside Idrissi with Bono not in goal in a game that began with an own goal inside five minutes. 

South Africa then scored three minutes into the second half to give them a two-goal lead, that Ziyech halved on the hour mark. En-Nesyri was replaced by Cheddira with a little over twenty minutes remaining as the scoreboard remained unchanged with Morocco remaining second in Group K on 6 points, having played a game less, have already sealed qualification for the 2024 Africa Cup of Nations, with their next game against Liberia on September 4th.
