Morocco stumbles against Ukraine

The Moroccan team suffered its first defeat at the Paris Olympics, losing 2-1 to Ukraine on Saturday in Saint-Étienne. A poor performance that complicates the task of the Atlas Lions in this group stage.

Dominant, the Moroccans were surprised by the Ukrainian opening goal in the 22nd minute. Despite a proud reaction and an equalizing goal from Soufiane Rahimi on a penalty, Achraf Hakimi’s teammates could not avoid defeat, conceding a second goal at the end of the match.
