Spain U23 beat Morocco U23, ending the Atlas Lions’s remarkable journey in the 2024 Olympics and dashing their hopes of reaching the final.
Morocco’s bid to repeat their World Cup 2022 heroics against Spain fell short in this high-stakes clash.
From the opening whistle, Morocco displayed tactical discipline and attacking flair, dominating the game against their opponent.
The match witnessed several fouls against Morocco’s Atlas Lions, who scored the first goal through a penalty in the first half.
In the 72nd minute of the match, Adrian Bernabe received a yellow card for a foul on Morocco’s Olympics 2024 top scorer, Rahimi.
Following their loss, they will compete in the third-place play-off, a match that will determine who takes home the bronze medal, against the other semi-finalist – either Egypt or France – who did not progress to the final.
