Argentina vs. Morocco: Match Analysis
In their final warm-up game before the Olympics, the Moroccan squad secured a close 2-1 victory against FC Villefranche Beaujolais (National/D3 French league) behind closed doors last Thursday. Key contributions came from international player Ez Abde and Le Havre’s Yassine Kechta, boosting the team’s confidence ahead of their face-off with Argentina. However, there are whispers of concern surrounding Paris Saint-Germain star Achraf Hakimi, who reportedly missed one or two penalties.
Meanwhile, Argentina is coming off a surprising 1-0 defeat to Guinea in a friendly match held last Friday in Vitré. Despite featuring heavyweights like Nicolas Otamendi and Thiago Almada in their starting lineup, the Argentine team was thwarted by a goal from AS Kaloum defender Mohamed Soumah. This sets the stage for a highly unpredictable Group B showdown.
Looking ahead, the Atlas Cubs are set to take on Ukraine at the same venue on Saturday, before facing Iraq at Nice’s Allianz Riviera next Tuesday.
