Morocco sink Mali to become first team to retain CHAN title
…as he urged the Ministry Take care of Catholic priests - Lungu
There were some clumsy challenges from both sides in the opening 20 minutes and from one of the resulting freekicks, Soufiane Rahimi picked up a short pass before firing a shot from the edge of the area which Mali captain and keeper Djigui Diarra scrambled away, with the help of his defence.
A few minutes later,
Mali's Moussa Kone found himself behind the defence but experienced Morocco goalkeeper Anas Zniti spread himself to block the shot.
Morocco managed to start the second half with more possession and created the early chances. Ten minutes after the break, they thought they had earned a penalty only for VAR to rule otherwise.
The breakthrough came in the 69th minute as Bouftini headed home a corner swung in by Omar Namsaoui.
Morocco's second had a touch of fortune about it as the ball looked to have gone behind for a goal kick but the referee awarded a corner that was headed back across goal by Mohammed Ali Bemammer and nodded home by El Kaabi.
El Kaabi's compatriot Soufiane Rahimi finished as the tournament's top scorer with five goals, including a brace in the semi-final win over hosts Cameroon.
Recently reinstated Confederation of African Football president Ahmad was part of the presentation ceremony at the end of the match alongside former Cameroon players Samuel Eto'o, Patrick Mboma and Jacques Songo'o.
