Morocco cruise to AFCON 2021 last 16

Sports Brief earlier reported that Morocco are through to the last 16 of the Africa Cup of Nations thanks to what was a routine 2-0 win over Comoros.

Goals from Selim Amallah and Zakaria Aboukhlal were enough to see off underdogs Comoros, who were second best for most of the game.

The Atlas Lions should have won the game by a far larger margin if they had taken all their chances as they proved too strong for the tournament debutants at the Ahmadou Ahidjo Stadium.
