Morocco secured their place in the semi-finals of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations by defeating Cameroon (2-0) on Friday night in Rabat.

This qualification was sealed, notably thanks to another clean sheet from Yassine Bounou. The Atlas Lions' goalkeeper kept his net untouched for the fourth time in this tournament.

Already “invincible” against Comoros (2-0), Zambia (1-0), and Tanzania (1-0), he again refused to concede against the Indomitable Lions. The only goal he has allowed in this tournament came against Mali (1-1) on matchday two.
