00:00The Moroccan national team qualified yesterday for the quarter-finals of the
00:23Coupe d'Afrique des Nations, with less than 17 years of football,
00:26synonymous with a participation in the Qatar World Cup by beating the Tanzanian team
00:31by 3 goals to 0 on the third day of Group A.
00:34The ally of Monaco, Elies Belmortar, opened the score at the 76th minute,
00:39while the midfielder of Ajax Amsterdam, Abdelawazen,
00:42crushed the addition with a double,
00:44including a superb transversal free-kick.
00:48A convincing result that allows Lyon de l'Atlas to finish at the head of Group A,
00:52with 7 points, and to exceed the difference of goals.
00:55Zambia, which beat Uganda by 2-1 in the other match of the group,
01:00played at Arbezaouli Stadium in Casablanca.
01:02The Lyon will face their South African counterpart in the quarter-finals of the competition,
01:07organized until April 19 on the side of the kingdom.
01:10A match that will be played this Thursday at 8 p.m.
01:13Moroccan time at El Bechir Stadium in Mohamedia.
01:17I have complete confidence in my team.
01:21The result we had against Uganda was positive.
01:28Then we played a team from Zambia, which is also a good team.
01:33We made it 0-0.
01:35Three games, we don't take goals, and we score eight.
01:38I don't think you should doubt this team.
01:42It's a team that's going to get stronger.
01:45I never doubted it, because I know I have very, very good players.
01:49I don't say it because I won 3-0.
01:51I said it when I started with this team in February 2024.
01:56I knew I had very good players.
01:59I knew that by working, by preparing them, we were going to get to this Africa Cup
02:04with great potential and very high aspirations.
02:08We started the match very well.
02:09Then we had a little difficulty in the first half.
02:11And the second half went well.
02:14We are proud of the final score.
02:16But there are still things to improve.
02:18We are going to work on improving things.
02:22We are very proud of the qualification for the World Cup.
02:25Of course we are aiming for the Africa Cup.
02:27As Moroccans, we always want to be as high as possible.
02:31As high as possible, God willing, because that's our goal.
02:34We don't think about the World Cup.
02:35We are qualified, we don't think about it now.
02:38We only think about the Africa Cup, God willing.
02:41In England, Manchester United and Manchester City
02:44didn't manage to take the lead in a disappointing derby,
02:48with a 0-0 final score for the 31st day of the Premier League.
02:53An insipid encounter that saw some semblance of offensive lightning
02:56that unfortunately didn't succeed in the final gesture.
03:00The Manchester derby saw the clash of two teams in clear lack of confidence,
03:04notably the Red Devils, who went on to a second match without a win
03:07after their defeat at Nottingham,
03:09thus blocking them to 13th place before the Europa League quarter-final.
03:14It will be against Olympique Lyonnais in the middle of the week.
03:17For them, the Citizens missed the chance to take advantage of Chelsea's 0-0 lead
03:21in Brentford and didn't move from their 5th place
03:24to just one point from the Champions League.
03:30And bad news for Southampton,
03:32who were officially relegated to the second division
03:34after suffering a 25th defeat in 31 Premier League games.
03:38Last night, on Tottenham's pitch, a 3-1 final score,
03:42with only 10 points, the Red Devils have mathematically no chance
03:46of beating the current first-ever relegated team, Wolverhampton.
03:49It's the first time a team has been relegated to the Champions League,
03:52while there are seven days left to play.
03:55The Saints now have the sole objective of doing better
03:58than the 11 points collected by Derby Counties in 2007-2008,
04:02the lowest total ever achieved by a team
04:05since the creation of the Premier League in 1992.
04:08The team from southern England,
04:09who have been stagnant for five months in last place,
04:12have only won two games this season,
04:14in early November against Everton 1-0
04:16and in early February against Ipswich 2-1.
04:20Let's head over to Germany,
04:21with the end of the 28th day of the Bundesliga.
04:24Yesterday afternoon, with first and foremost
04:25the draw between five Polish teams
04:27and the Borussia Mönchengladbach.
04:28The final score, a goal everywhere,
04:30before the return to the changing room,
04:32the Japanese, Koike Tura,
04:34took advantage of a lax defence at the back post
04:37to send a head into the goal.
04:40The Polish team thought they were going to be
04:41a big success in the race to Europe,
04:44but the locals finally cracked in the last minutes,
04:48conceding a beautiful goal,
04:49signed by Oladopo Afolayen,
04:51which allowed the first team
04:53to take a crucial point in the race to the back post.
05:07And in the other meeting of yesterday,
05:09Union Berlin almost secured a place in the Bundesliga
05:12next season, after their win on the line
05:15against Wolfsburg,
05:16thanks to a goal from Stefan Baumgart
05:18after half-time.
05:19Three points, which allowed the club of the capital,
05:2113th, to come back to five units
05:24from their opponent of the day,
05:2512th in the Bundesliga rankings.
05:28And if Manchester's derby didn't keep its promises,
05:42the Portuguese league's Clásico
05:44gave a show,
05:45especially for the supporters in red,
05:47after the beautiful win of Benfica at home
05:50against FC Porto,
05:51for the 28th day of the Portuguese league.
05:54Final score, 4-1.
05:56The Benficistas perfectly started the match
05:59with the goal from the first minute of the game
06:01from the Greek striker Vangelis Pavlidis,
06:04who even scored a three-pointer
06:05in this match,
06:06making a mistake before the break,
06:08and then after half-time.
06:09A hat-trick, which allowed the Eagles' scorer
06:12to ease his total of goals,
06:14to 14 in the Lusitanian championship.
06:16The reduction of the score,
06:18signed by Samu Omorodion,
06:1910 minutes from the end of the match,
06:21will not really save the honour of the Portuguese,
06:23as the Argentinian world champion,
06:25Nicolas Otamendi,
06:27will redraw the gap to three goals
06:29in the additional time of the second half.
06:31In the Benfica standings,
06:33he temporarily takes the lead of the league,
06:35with three points ahead of Sporting,
06:37who still has a match to play,
06:39and 12 points ahead of his rival,
06:41FC Porto.
06:53And we end this little tour of the football world.
07:07In the United States,
07:08Lionel Messi was silent as a saviour,
07:10tonight, when he suffered a point
07:11from a poor match at Inter-Miami,
07:13at home, against Toronto.
07:15Final score, goals everywhere,
07:16all these toys,
07:17at the end of a first period.
07:19It all started with the Pulga,
07:21who first thought he could unlock the mark
07:22with a nice shot from the left,
07:24but a mistake made at the start of the action,
07:26by Messi himself,
07:28which forced the referee to consult,
07:30and then to cancel the opening of the score,
07:32thanks to the foul.
07:33Behind, there are the visitors,
07:35who illustrated themselves,
07:36with a goal,
07:37scored by the former attacker
07:39of the Juve, Federico Bernardeschi,
07:41found by his compatriot
07:43and former Napoli, Lorenzo Inzigni.
07:46But Messi is ultimately unavoidable.
07:48The Octuple Ballon d'Or
07:49offered us a superb sequence,
07:51to reset the score,
07:53and become the most decisive player
07:55in the history of the young Frulian franchise.
07:58And this, in only 29 matches played,
08:01with 44 contributions,
08:03goals and decisive passes.
08:11Italian Luciano Darderi
08:12won yesterday, in Marrakech,
08:14the 39th edition of the Hacienda Tennis Grand Prix,
08:17beating the Dutchman Talon Griekspoor in the final.
08:207-6 in each of the two matches,
08:22in favour of Darderi.
08:24The Italian, who succeeded his compatriot
08:26Matteo Bellittini,
08:27at the palm of this meeting
08:28of the city of Ocre,
08:29offered himself the title of this tournament,
08:31on the ground,
08:32at the end of a very tight match,
08:33which ended in a score of 2-7 to nothing.
08:36The Dutchman,
08:37number one starting XI,
08:38never managed to prevail
08:40in this style,
08:41throughout the meeting,
08:43which lasted more than two hours,
08:44against the number seven starting XI,
08:46who showed himself very focused
08:47from the start of the match,
08:49placed under the patronage
08:50of His Majesty the King Mohammed VI.
08:52The Hacienda Tennis Grand Prix,
08:54played on the court
08:55of the Royal Tennis Club of Marrakech,
08:57is the only ATP 250 tournament
09:00organized on the African continent.
09:05A big match,
09:06it was played with quality.
09:11Both really impressed me
09:14in this final.
09:15There are always the emotions,
09:16usually that come during a final match like this.
09:20So, bravo, they did a great show.
09:24So, bravo to Luciano,
09:27the winner of this edition.
09:28Bravo also to Talon.
09:31I was delighted,

09:40and enjoy this quality of tennis.
09:44We will try to do even better
09:47for the 40th anniversary
09:50of the Hacienda Tennis Grand Prix.
09:52From the bottom of my heart,
09:53I would like to thank His Majesty the King Mohammed VI
09:55for his investment every year.
09:59And, God willing,
10:01next year, the Moroccan players,
10:05I give them advice,
10:07work hard,
10:09do it with passion,
10:10with love,
10:12and the results will come.
10:13There is potential.
10:14Now, it's not easy,
10:17it's an individual sport.
10:18A lot of players are competitive,
10:22but they have to get the most out of the game
10:24and come back stronger next year.
10:27And, God willing,
10:28to get a good result here.
