The Atlas Lionesses did most of the work in the first half, which they dominated from start to finish, leaving very few balls to their opponents.
The Moroccans immediately imposed their control on the game, forcing the Tunisians to barricade themselves in their zone. Their pressure, exerted mainly on the flanks, ended up bearing fruit, thanks to Fatima Tagnaout, who concluded in style a super tiki-taka and a pass from Najat Badri between two defenders.
But it was on the right flank that the Moroccan danger was more imminent, with three goals scored by Btissam Jraidi (16th, 20th, 22nd), each time masterfully served by Imane Saoud.
The reaction of the Tunisian team was timid and it was only in the 23rd minute that their first serious attempt of the game took place, but the shot from Sabrine Ellouzi, who was face to face with goalkeeper Khadija Er- Remichi was weak.
At the restart, the Tunisians took the initiative and managed to deploy their game. Their efforts ended up paying off in the 58th minute, on Salma Zemzem’s goal, at the conclusion of a corner. The same player could have doubled the score 20 minutes later (78th), but she lost her face to face with Er-Remichi.
“We are making progress. There was extraordinary work from the team, especially on an individual level,” welcomed the coach of the Moroccan selection Jorge Vilda Rodriguez, during the post-press conference. match.
“The second half fell short of expectations. We lacked precision in front of the goals,” he noted, however, insisting that “we need to work more on efficiency and concentration.”
For his part, Samir El Andaloussi, coach of the Tunisian selection declared: “From the first leg, we knew that the Moroccan team has a lot of matches in its legs. In terms of pace, we are far away, because “We haven’t played a lot of games and that’s what made the difference today.”
In the first leg, played last Friday in Tunis, the women’s national team won against their Tunisian counterpart (2-1).
During the 4th and final round of qualifications (April 1-09), the Moroccan selection will face its Zambian counterpart who qualified at the expense of Ghana, in order to win their ticket for the next Olympics as one of the two representatives of the ‘Africa.
