🏁 CLOSING REMARKS – SEMI-FINAL NIGHT IN RABAT
What a night of African football in Rabat. After 120 minutes of grit, discipline and tactical chess that ended goalless, Morocco held their nerve to edge Nigeria in a dramatic penalty shoot-out, sending the hosts through to the final of the TotalEnergies CAF Africa Cup of Nations Morocco 2025.
It was a contest defined by fine margins, mental strength and goalkeeping heroics, with the home crowd playing its part as the Atlas Lions once again proved impossible to break down. Nigeria depart with heads held high after another powerful showing, but it is Morocco who take the final step.
