Morocco vs Spain: Olympic men's football semi-final live updates

Posted : 06 August 2024

In the Paris 2024 Olympic men’s football tournament, Spain secured their place in the final with a 2-1 victory over Morocco, bringing them closer to the gold medal. Morocco, having recently defeated the USA in the quarter-finals, entered the match with high hopes but fell short against a resilient Spanish team. Despite a strong start from Morocco, Spain's second-half performance turned the game in their favor.


Morocco initially took the lead in the semi-final held in Marseille, thanks to Soufiane Rahimi’s penalty goal in the first half. Rahimi capitalized on a foul committed by Richardson inside the box to give his team the advantage. However, Spain regrouped after the break and equalized with a goal from Fermin Lopez.

 


As the game approached its final stages, Spain's Juanlu Sanchez scored a decisive low shot to give his team a 2-1 lead with only five minutes remaining. Morocco, desperately seeking a comeback, even sent their goalkeeper forward for a set-piece in stoppage time, but their efforts were in vain as Spain held firm.


Spain’s triumph means they will now compete for the gold medal in the final. They will face the winner of the second semi-final between France and Egypt, scheduled for this evening at 20:00 BST. The final match will take place in Paris on Friday.


Meanwhile, Morocco will battle for the bronze medal on Thursday in Nantes. Despite their semi-final defeat, the Atlas Lions have shown impressive performances throughout the tournament, and their final match will be a chance to secure a place on the podium.


The clash between Spain and Morocco was a thrilling encounter, with both teams showcasing their strengths. Spain’s resilience and ability to come from behind were key factors in their victory, setting up an exciting finale for the Olympic football tournament.


With the final approaching, all eyes will be on the remaining semi-final and the showdown for the gold medal, promising an exciting conclusion to the men’s football competition at Paris 2024.
