Tarik Sektioui, former FC Porto player, leads Morocco to Arab Cup glory | OneFootball

Morocco won the Arab Cup this Thursday by defeating the Jordanian national team 3-2 after extra time.

The team led by Tarik Sektioui, former FC Porto player, took the lead in the 4th minute with a spectacular shot from Ousmane Tannane from before the halfway line. Jordan turned the score around with a brace from Olwan in the second half (48′ and 68′), and Hamdallah restored parity in the 87th minute, forcing extra time. In the additional minutes, Hamdallah scored his second goal in the 100th minute, giving victory to the Moroccans.

It is worth noting that Morocco participated in the competition almost as a B team, with Sektioui at the helm – a coach who usually manages the Olympic and under-23 national teams.

The match to determine third and fourth place, between Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, ended up not being concluded due to rain.
