Gabon vs Morocco Pick & Prediction
Last time out, Gabon played Ghana and used a late goal to earn a 1-1 draw. Jim Allevinah got the ball in the back of the net in the 88th minute, in a somewhat controversial way, to get Gabon a massive point. Ghana put the ball out of play for an injured player, but when the ball was put back into play, they did not give the ball back to Ghana, something that is normally done. Gabon had 48% of the possession, three shots on goal, five corners, and 31 dangerous attacks – a well-earned point.
Morocco made it two wins in a row with a 2-0 win over the Comoros Islands. This game could have been 6-0, but Comoros keeper Salim Ben Boina had one of the best goalkeeping performances you will ever see. Morocco got goals from Selim Amallah, in the 16th minute, and Zakaria Aboukhlal in the 89th minute. The Atlas Lions had 59% possession, nine shots on goal, nine corner kicks, and 67 dangerous attacks.
