Morocco conceded an unfortunate goal at the start of the match. I think this goal came really early and messed up all of Morocco's game plans. Despite this, they played well against France. They were the dominant side throughout the match and they had many scoring chances but were unable to balance the score. Especially if El Yamiq's aesthetic volley shot had been a goal, the match could have entered a very different atmosphere. Frankly, before the match, I thought that France would win the match more easily, but they did not win this match easily. They scored an early goal and took advantage of the score throughout the game. Morocco were close to reaching the final in this match. If they had been a little more accurate on the final shots, we could be talking about a huge surprise today.

Morocco controlled/possessed the ball more than France but France used the small opportunity given to very well and scored their goals. Morocco has a good defense but the strikers are the problem and also Morocco would scored the most powerful goal in the tournament but ball touched the goalkeeper's hand. Morocco was really having the confidence to equalize and that was why they were playing with all their alacrity but irony was the case. But they still make African proud. I was not expecting Morocco to come this far. Most of the Africans were supporting Senegal to come this far but pull out on the way. The way Morocco played yesterday was impressed by many Africans.

I dont think Morocco will be sad or anything like that. Because they have achieved more than what they imagined in my opinion. And a big problem was some of the players were carrying injuries in this match for Morocco. Otherwise, I think this match could have been close. I know a lot of people are going to look at the statistics and say that this was a close match, but that is not a correct statement. France was quite happy to play in this match. They did not have to face too many difficulties except for certain periods when Morocco was attacking well. At least I did not expect Morocco to go this far in the tournament. I think we expected that France going to win this match. But it was not as one-sided as many of us thought it would be.
