Morocco devour Angola in CHAN opener

Date:

Morocco began their quest for a third TotalEnergies CAF African Nations Championship (CHAN) title with a solid 2-0 victory over Angola in the Group A opener at the Nyayo National Stadium in Nairobi.

Imad Riahi’s spectacular long-range strike in the first half and a second-half own goal from Angola’s Kinito sealed a deserved win for the Atlas Lions in a contest they largely dominated.

Despite some late attempts by Angola, including a long-range effort from Mafuta, Morocco’s defence remained resolute, with captain Hrimat marshalling the backline effectively.

Morocco will next face tournament co-hosts Kenya, while Angola must regroup ahead of their clash with Zambia.
