RABAT, Morocco (Interstat) — Morocco opened its Africa Cup of Nations campaign with a 2-0 victory over Comoros on Sunday, Dec. 21, 2025, at Stade Prince Moulay Abdallah.

Midfielder Brahim Díaz led the hosts, breaking a scoreless deadlock in the 55th minute before assisting on a second goal by forward Ayoub El Kaabi in the 74th. The result defied a pregame projection that had favored Comoros.

The match featured five yellow cards, issued to Yannis Kari, Díaz, Jawad El Yamiq and Sofyan Amrabat. Morocco improved to 1-0 in the tournament, while Comoros fell to 0-1.
