The Moroccans took the lead in Group I of the 2022 World Cup qualifiers on Wednesday, October 6, easily beating Guinea-Bissau in Rabat. The Atlas Lions offered themselves a wide victory in Rabat (5-0). The Bissaoguineans, victims of food poisoning on Tuesday, do not intend to stop there.
For hours, a big doubt hung over the holding of this meeting of the 3rd day of the qualifiers for the next World Cup. On the night of Tuesday to Wednesday, the Bissaoguinean Football Federation indicated that all of its national team had suffered from severe food poisoning after the evening meal. “The 25 players” and “the technical staff” suffered from diarrhea and vomiting. They all had to spend the night in the hospital. In these circumstances, Guinea-Bissau seriously considered not playing this match against Morocco.
But for lack of being able to obtain a postponement from the match commissioner, the Djurtus did not miss the meeting at the Moulay-Abdallah stadium in Rabat. Perhaps they weren’t in a position to perform well against the Atlas Lions. In any case, the latter did not do in detail. Ultra-domineering, the Moroccans slapped their opponents.
Hakimi, Louza, and El Kaabi light up the evening
Vahid Halilhodzic’s men besieged Guinea-Bissau’s cage in the first act. And after several attempts and constant pressure, the lock gave way thanks to the inevitable Achraf Hakimi. The PSG defender found himself receiving a corner kicked back by the opposing defense. After control, the n ° 2 unleashed a dry shot which ended in the small net, flush with the post of the cage guarded by Jonas Mendes, powerless on this jewel (31st).
Before the break, Ryan Mmaee led a counterattack before being illegally stopped by Alfa Semedo. The penalty was logically awarded and easily transformed by Imran Louza (45th + 1). In the second half, the Atlas Lions made the addition very nice. Imran Louza first wound a perfect shot at the entrance to the area (49th). And Ayoub El Kaabi added a fourth goal by executing a delicious scissor (62nd). Finally, Munir El Haddadi, who had just entered the game, won his duel to score the final goal of the match (82nd).
Guinea-Bissau wants the “culprit” of “food poisoning”
While waiting to catch up with their match of the second day against the national Syli – scheduled for early September, it was postponed to October 12 after the coup d’état in Guinea – Morocco takes the lead of Group I alone with two wins in two matches (6 points), ahead of Guinea-Bissau (4 points), Guinea (2 points) and Sudan (1 point).
The Bissaoguinean Federation will undoubtedly come back to the charge for this food poisoning. In her statement, she insisted on “the evidence of food poisoning”. “In the name of fair play and sporting truth, the truth must be established and the culprit responsible for it all,” she added.
