00:00The pitch with the officials for today's match.
00:13So the referee blows the whistle and away we go in Cairo.
00:18Match they won in this year's Total Energies CAF Under 20 Africa Cup of Nations.
00:23That's going to drop on the edge of the area and it's fired wide by El Haddad again.
00:36Two big opportunities in as many minutes for a young Moroccan.
00:45It's floated in and onto the head of Laurence Okot who opens the scoring for Kenya.
00:58And it all stemmed from that handball from Mesbay.
01:02Great movement from one of the men.
01:05A young man who is lined up in front of the Moroccan right back.
01:09He floated away, ghosted away.
01:13As a good few yards from Lalawi threw himself towards the Kenyan forward.
01:22But couldn't get close enough and nothing Ben Chaus could do as that nestled in the bottom corner.
01:27And they may well dance.
01:32Mangaya trying to play his way out but giving the ball away in a dangerous position.
01:38It's tipped over by Oyure.
01:40Otman Mama denied once again this time though by the Kenyan keeper.
01:46Mangaya stayed down.
01:50It's a certainly decent chunk of the ball.
01:58Retrieved by Ereda.
01:59And they're long wait for a second title.
02:02Oyure with a strong punch and he goes just beyond the edge of his area.
02:08Dayak puts in the corner.
02:12That was less convincing from Oyure.
02:15Went for the punch.
02:20Didn't reach the ball.
02:23Lalawi claiming the final touch came off.
02:26Presumably Oyure in the Kenyan nearby.
02:30He didn't look totally sure of where it was going.
02:32No one did in truth.
02:33Not sure what part of whom that hit.
02:36Opposition coach Anthony Akulia.
02:39It's probably a new screen.
02:42On this occasion to rip up his half-time team talk.
02:45And he might have to do that.
02:48The flag has stayed down but the referee has blown for a foul.
02:57And knocking on the door here Morocco.
03:00A number of obstacles in the way.
03:02It was a great save from El Haddad initially but dropping to Zabiri.
03:08Couldn't miss this one.
03:11Into an empty net but kicking the ball away in frustration as he realized.
03:17The referee had already blown.
03:18So it was Zabiri potentially the guilty party on Manjala.
03:29Check complete.
03:34And the goal stands.
03:36A rollercoaster ride.
03:41Late in the first half of Morocco.
03:43Ends on the up.
03:45They get their equalizer.
03:47Yassid.
03:49But seconds on the clock.
03:51And there it is.
03:53The halftime after Akona Macalima.
03:57Hueso.
04:02Replacing him.
04:04That's so too now.
04:07Hossam Esadak.
04:09Brought on for the second half.
04:11Changes deemed necessary by Mohamed Ouabi.
04:15We'll see if they have the design.
04:17Captain Dayak to take again.
04:22Into a dangerous area.
04:24Did well.
04:26Kenya's scorer unaware.
04:28Of course centre forward always looked to put it in himself.
04:30And that could be the case here.
04:33And it is.
04:35Yassid Zabiri.
04:37Grabs his and his side.
04:38Second.
04:39He stayed down though.
04:41In the aftermath.
04:43From one end to the other.
04:45Missed by Collins Ongu.
04:47This time it was a costly mistake.
04:48Mama kept it in.
04:50Beat Ongu a second time for good measure.
04:51And a third.
04:52Lifted it into the danger area.
04:55And it was Zabiri who got his head to it.
04:59And then got his head.
05:03To Amos Wanjala as well.
05:05Those two.
05:08Colliding.
05:10Once again.
05:12Didn't make the most of.
05:14Zabiri did make the most of it.
05:19But seemingly.
05:21At the expense.
05:23The final half an hour here.
05:25That's brilliantly done by El Haddad again.
05:26Who very nearly score.
05:27What would have been.
05:29A good.
05:30It's one back.
05:31Deep into the.
05:32Moroccan half.
05:33Enter on goal.
05:34Is Bay.
05:35And Ochi.
05:36I still.
05:37Trick his way past.
05:38Zayuani.
05:39It's going to drop here.
05:40For Beja.
05:42And just like that.
05:44Kenya.
05:45Restore.
05:46The draw.
05:47And just like that.
05:48Kenya.
05:49Restore.
05:50The draw.
05:51Parity restored.
05:52By Hasan Beja.
05:54But they have turned the tide here.
05:57Brilliant play.
05:58Chested out by Wangaya.
06:00Kibet.
06:01Bringing it across.
06:02And then leaving it for Beja.
06:03And a better position.
06:04Who fired that beyond Benji.
06:05And just like that.
06:06Kenia.
06:07Restore.
06:08The draw.
06:09Parity restored.
06:10By Hassan Beja.
06:11They have turned the tide here.
06:12Brilliant play.
06:13Chested out by Wangaya.
06:14Kibet.
06:15Bringing it across.
06:16And then leaving it for Beja.
06:17In a better position.
06:18Who fired that beyond Benji.
06:19who fired that beyond Ben Shoush and made it 2-2 here in Cairo.
06:34Set forwards by Esadak and his mama.
06:37Quick change of pace again.
06:38It's into the middle.
06:40That's a pretty nasty collision.
06:42One, though, which has seemingly resulted in the third goal.
06:47Is it going to stand?
06:49Yes, it will.
06:50Turned into a largely empty net.
06:52Let's watch it back here.
06:54Mama hit the drop of the shoulder.
06:57There's the moment the VAR will check over
06:59for the unerring finish from Lallawi.
07:09Kenyan players standing still, protesting.
07:12They're all signalling for VAR.
07:15Will VAR have anything to say about this one?
07:17Reinstated Morocco's first goal.
07:20Could they cancel out their third?
07:25Oh.
07:27No.
07:29The goal stands.
07:31No second look required.
07:34Morocco.
07:35That was on a platter.
07:37A sudden was down as the referee has pointed to the spot.
07:45Mama finding a way past Baranoci, who's had a rough 10 minutes or so
07:51and was asking for trouble there.
07:54The handful of the Morocco No. 7 shirt.
07:57Both arms around him.
08:00Clumsy combination as well.
08:07Look at that.
08:0720, Afgant.
08:10Off of his cheeks to steady the nerves.
08:13But it's saved by Bernardo Uri.
08:1797 minutes are up.
08:20And indeed, there is the final whistle.
08:23Despite missing a late penalty, Morocco hold on.
08:26After 90 minutes and a thrilling comeback from Morocco.
08:33They defeat 3-2 to Kenya in the first round of the group stage,
08:37earning their first three points of the tournament
08:40and joining Nigeria's at the top of Group B.
08:4497 minutes.
