⏱️ Full-time: 🇲🇦 Morocco 1- 0 Algeria 🇩🇿

Hosts Morocco strengthened their position in Group A of the CAF Women’s Africa Cup of Nations with a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Algeria in a tense Maghreb derby.

The first half reflected the importance of the match.

Morocco had home support behind them, but Algeria were determined not to allow the hosts to settle into an easy rhythm.

The match was physical and tactical, with both sides aware that a victory would place them in a commanding position in Group A.

Sanaa Mssoudy scored the only goal of the match in the 84th minute as the Atlas Lionesses found a late breakthrough against a disciplined Algerian side.

Both teams had gone into the fixture with opening victories, Morocco having beaten Kenya 4-0 while Algeria defeated Senegal 2-0, making this one of the most important early matches in the group.

The result means Morocco have now taken six points from their first two matches and are in a strong position in the race for the quarter-finals.

Algeria are level on six points with Senegal who earlier in the day defeated Kenya.

Sanaa Mssoudy was named "Woman of the Match".
