Match Info
Morocco was held to a surprising 0-0 draw by Eritrea in their opening 2026 World Cup qualification match at the Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium on November 17, 2023. The Atlas Lions, semi-finalists at the previous World Cup, were expected to secure a comfortable victory in this Group E fixture but were frustrated by a resolute and disciplined Eritrean defense. Morocco dominated possession and created numerous chances, hitting the woodwork and forcing several saves from the Eritrean goalkeeper. However, a combination of poor finishing and heroic defending ensured the match ended scoreless. This result serves as a major upset and a potential setback for Morocco's qualification plans, while for Eritrea, securing a point away against one of Africa's top teams is a historic and monumental achievement.
