Morocco trounce Nigeria 4-0 to lift 1st ever CHAN

Morocco became the first host nation to claim the African Nations Championship (CHAN) title with a convincing 4-0 win over 10-man Nigeria in Sunday's final.

Just two minutes after the break Peter Eneji Moses was sent off for a second booking after a clumsy late foul on Mohammed Nahiri.

Morocco's Ayoub El Kaabi scored against Nigeria to finish as the tournament's top scorer with nine goals.

It was evident that Nigeria's 10 men were unable to threaten Morocco at all in the second-half.

El Kaabi's goals saw him named man-of-the-tournament and will have caught the eye of Morocco's full national coach Herve Renard who was watching from the stands, as he looks to finalise his squad for the 2018 World Cup in Russia.

Earlier on Saturday 3 February, Sudan goalkeeper Akram El Hadi saved two penalties in the shootout as his side beat Libya to finish third at the African Nations Championship.

The sides were locked at 1-1 after 90 minutes in Marrakech at the tournament for locally-based players.

It is a second bronze medal for Sudan at the CHAN finals after they were third when they hosted the tournament in 2011.

The 2020 edition of CHAN takes place in Ethiopia.
