The Moroccan team won the CHAN 2020 on 7 February 2021 at Yaoundé. Morocco beat Mali 2–0 in the final of this continental football tournament reserved for local players. Morocco, already crowned at CHAN 2018, has become the first selection to retain its title at the African Nations Championship. Morocco entered the history of African football on 7 February 2021 at the Yound. The Atlas Lions became the first team to win the African Nations Championship twice in a row, a continental competition reserved for local players, and after CHAN 2018, which were won at home to Morocco, they actually repeated during “CHAN 2020.” [1] In Cameroon. But he had to be very committed to achieving this in a final against Mali. At the beginning of the Malaysian meetup without premises, Morocco multiplied the set piece. In the 19th minute, after a free-kick combination, Soufian Rahimi, the tournament’s top scorer (5 goals), took fewer shots, but goalkeeper Jigui Diara was in the parade. Physically, they do not then feel the grueling game of overtime, with Congo-Brazzaville (0–0, 5–4 TAB) in the quarto-finals followed by Guinea (0–0, 5) –4 TAB in the semi-finals ). In the 23rd minute, Mousa goes to the corner offside, but goalkeeper Anas Zaniti falls to his feet. Shortly afterwards, Dimba Diallo shoots far above (but 26th). In the 38th, Warts corner tried a hard diving header, but did not fit into it. The Eagles played with no determination and aggression. And with some success. Because in the 53rd minute, Isaka Samke unbalanced Rahimi in the penalty area. The defenders, who have already survived the exclusion in the earlier period, have not been cleared further. Despite recourse to video assistance, referee Peter Wavaru did not call for a penalty. Sufiyan Boughtini found that the Moroccans did not resist at fault. They appear to be suffering against Mali despite greater freshness. In the 57th minute, on a free kick from the left, Sadio Kanoute rises above all but does not frame his header. Launched deep, in the 64th, the warts corner supports the allegation of a Moroccan defender, but Zniti saves his family. Atlas Lions has the ability of the remaining lucid, unlike the opposing rearguard. In the 69th minute, on a corner from the right, Sufiyan Bouftini was the fastest and opened the scoring for Morocco with a header: 0–1. A sledgehammer to Mali, who delivered in the second corner, was ten minutes late. This time it is Job El Kabi, the top scorer and the best player of CHAN 2018, nearly doubling: 0-2, 79th. After a long hesitation from Peter Waeru, Samac was ruled out at the very end of the game. Mali lost in the 2016 CHAN in the finals, and would have to wait before winning a continental football competition between the seniors. Happiness can be celebrated in Morocco.
