The United States continues to press forward as the first half draws to a close. There have been more than eight corner kicks in the entire match, most of them by the Americans, but they have been unable to capitalize on them. Morocco is defending well and playing on the Americans’ desperation.

We’re in the final stretch of the first half. We’ll see how much time is added to regulation. For now, the United States continues to press forward, while Morocco is sticking to its game plan by staying in its own half and defending well. 

The goal is valid and goes on the scoreboard. It’s a surprise, a tremendous result for Morocco. Despite not creating any dangerous chances, in a move that looked lost, they fought for it and scored on the line.
The entire United States protested a foul by Saad El Haddad, but after review, there was nothing. 

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
GOOOOOOL, surprise GOOOOOL in Rancagua. Morocco wins, Yassir Zabiri scores the first for the Africans. A cross from the left goes too far, is crossed back in front of the goal line, and the striker, who plays in Portugal, ends up pushing the ball in.

Morocco is slowly trying to break out, but they are struggling due to the high pressure from the United States. For its part, the United States is completely dominating play on the wings, but they are unable to get into the box with any precision. 

The United States continues to attack, with the players in white proving to be the better side. The American team is superior and creates more opportunities down the wings, building from the center. Morocco defends well, preventing the Americans from opening up the middle.

The back-and-forth continues, although the Stars and Stripes are dominating more consistently. We’ll see if they manage to open the scoring soon with their constant attacks. Morocco is pressing but unable to regain possession. 

They are far superior to the United States. They play on Morocco’s side of the field, dominate possession from side to side, and send crosses into the heart of the box that fail to find a finisher. The African team, which only plays long balls, has narrowly escaped defeat. 

We have constant back-and-forth action. The United States has possession of the ball at the moment and has been quite active in creating dangerous situations. Morocco is defending and playing on the counterattack, exploiting their speed on the wings. 

It started with the entire American team. They attacked down the left wing from the start, Morocco left a lot of space and they took advantage of it, but the African team’s defense recovered. Constant back and forth.
