Paris.- The Spanish team was down by a single goal in the first half, but reacted in time to secure a 2-1 victory over Morocco. The Spanish side repeat the title-winning performance they lost to Brazil in Tokyo 2020. A title they have not won since Barcelona ’92.
Spain’s maturity and wealth are matched by very few nations in the world of football. This was evident in the semi-final of the men’s football competition at Paris 2024 at the Vélodrome in Marseille, where the European team beat Morocco 2-1 with a comeback to enter the fight for gold.
The African team was not intimidated by the talent of the Spanish players. From the start, they created a balance in the middle of the field and threatened the Europeans with their speed.
And although Barcelona’s Fermin had two clear chances in the first half hour, the truth is that it was the surprising Moroccan team that struck first in the south of France.
At 33 minutes, Pablo Barrios brought down Amir Richardson in the box. Although the refereeing team did not notice the foul at the time, the VAR did and notified the central referee to award the penalty.
An opportunity that the Moroccan did not miss. Soufiane Rahimi completely fooled the Spanish goalkeeper Arnau and made it 1-0 to the surprise of the Marseillais, at 37′. In the celebration, the African shouted it in the face of the Spaniards and earned a yellow card. The Third.
