AFCON 2021: Morocco vs Ghana live
Preview
At 18:00 (SAST) tonight, the Moroccan national team will meet the Black Stars of Ghana in their first game of the AFCON 2021 at Stade Ahmadou Ahidjo. These two teams are the heavy weights of Group C, and they are the front-runners to advance from the group stage to the next round. Joshua Bondo of Botswana will be the referee for this cruch encounter.
The Moroccans haven’t won the AFCON since 1976 and will be hoping for a spectacular tournament. They performed well in the qualifiers and are one of the few countries to have a smooth entry into the tournament. Their attacking fronts are strong and fast, something the Black Stars will have to be wary of. This side have a good track record and would be expecting to win this first match.
Following a humiliating loss to Algeria last Wednesday, Ghana’s Black Stars face Morocco today. Their recent performances have been underwhelming, causing concern among fans. To beat the Moroccan tonight, Milovan and his team will need to switch from a defensive to an offensive attacking front. Morocco is a very good and challenging opponent with a strong defense, despite the fact that the Black Stars have a strong record in AFCON competitions as one of the most successful nations in the tournament. They’ve won four of the events and are hoping to win a fifth, but they’ll have to improve if they want to win today’s game.
