Home Eagles defender, Stephen Eze has admitted that the display of his team against Morocco was shameful and woeful.

El Karti doubled the lead with half an hour remaining. Three minutes later, Hadraf added his second and Morocco’s third.

El Kaabi sealed the win in the 73rd minute, pouncing on a loose ball to score his ninth goal of the tournament.
