Youssef En-Nesyri started the friendly between Morocco and Ivory Coast which ended 1-1. Our forward was afforded 77 minutes in a contest that initially saw the Ivorians open the scoring to go one-nil up in added time at the end of the first half, only for El Kaabi to level in the 81st minute, by which time En-Nesyri had been replaced, to earn a draw for Morocco. Next Tuesday, the Moroccans will host Liberia in an African Cup of Nations qualifier.
Meanwhile, Gudelj played the whole game as Serbia were beaten 2-1 in Hungary in a European Championship qualifier. After Pavlovic had cancelled out the hosts' opener with just over half an hour gone, Sallai hit back a minute later to restore the lead. There was no second-half comeback and Tuesday will provide a chance to go again against Montenegro.
