Morocco Dominates with a 4-0 Victory Over Madagascar

Morocco achieved a decisive 4-0 victory against Madagascar, signaling its serious intent for the upcoming World Cup matches. Following a 5-0 win over Burundi, coach Ouahbi's team continues to showcase their formidable skills as they look ahead to a match against Norway, featuring star players Erling Haaland and Martin Ødegaard.

The match took place on June 3, 2026, at the Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium, where Morocco started strongly. Ismael Saibari, linked with Bayern Munich, scored the opening goal in the fifth minute with a powerful header that bounced in off the crossbar. Saibari doubled the lead shortly after, capitalizing on a mistake by Madagascar defender Raveloson to score again and firmly establish Morocco's dominance.

Madagascar struggled to pose any significant threat to Morocco throughout the match. As the second half progressed, coach Ouahbi made six substitutions to maintain a fresh attacking force. Morocco's possession and control of the game continued, but it wasn't until the 77th minute that they increased their score. Onuahi was fouled in the area, and Achraf Hakimi took the penalty, successfully converting it to extend the lead.

In the final minutes, Brahim Díaz made a notable impact, getting involved in multiple plays. His best chance was deflected onto the post by Madagascar's goalkeeper, Dupire, but the rebound fell to Ayoub El Kaabi, who scored, cementing the scoreline at 4-0 for Morocco.

The Moroccan national team looks forward to its next challenge against Norway on June 7, maintaining momentum and confidence from their impressive performances in these pre-World Cup fixtures.
