The host nation opened the tournament with a dominant, though at times frustrating, victory over a resilient Comoros side.
- The Match Flow: Morocco controlled over 70% of possession but struggled to beat Comoros goalkeeper Yannick Pandor, who had the performance of a lifetime. The first half's biggest moment was a penalty save by Pandor from Morocco’s Soufiane Rahimi in the 10th minute.
- The Breakthrough: It took until the 55th minute for Brahim Díaz to break the deadlock with a composed finish from inside the area.
- The Highlight: The "Goal of the Tournament" contender came in the 74th minute when substitute Ayoub El Kaabi scored a sensational overhead kick to seal the win.
- Tactical Note: Walid Regragui’s side looked fit but cautious, notably keeping captain Achraf Hakimi on the bench to manage his recovery from a recent ankle injury.
