Morocco defeated Tanzania 2-0 in a World Cup qualifying match on March 25, 2025, at Stade d'Honneur in Oujda.
This win keeps Morocco at the top of Group E, while Tanzania now faces a tougher challenge to qualify.
The first half was a balanced game, with both teams playing carefully. Morocco had more possession but found it difficult to break Tanzania’s strong defense.
Tanzania, on the other hand, tried to attack on the counter but lacked accuracy in front of goal. As a result, the first half ended without any goals.
Morocco finally took the lead in the 51st minute when defender Nayef Aguerd scored a header from a corner kick.
This goal gave Morocco confidence, and they continued to attack. Just seven minutes later, in the 58th minute, they won a penalty after a Tanzanian defender committed a foul inside the box.
Brahim Díaz took the penalty and scored, making it 2-0. From that point, Morocco controlled the game.
Tanzania tried to fight back and made substitutions to strengthen their attack. However, Morocco’s defense stayed solid and denied them any clear chances to score.
Despite their efforts, Tanzania could not find the back of the net, and the match ended in a 2-0 victory for Morocco.
With this result, Morocco remains unbeaten in Group E, leading with 15 points after winning all five of their matches.
Tanzania is now in third place with six points, tied with Niger but behind on goal difference. In another match from the same group, Niger defeated Zambia 2-0, leaving Zambia with only three points. Meanwhile, Congo is yet to earn a single point after three games.
For Morocco, this win brings them closer to qualifying for the 2026 World Cup. Tanzania, however, must work harder in their upcoming matches to improve their chances.
Their coach and players need to analyze their weaknesses and make changes to perform better in the next games.
This match showed Morocco’s strength and experience, while Tanzania struggled to compete against a stronger team.
To stay in the race for World Cup qualification, Tanzania must learn from this defeat and improve in the remaining matches.
