Real Madrid's Brahim fires Morocco past Lesotho with late winner

Brahim seems to be on a hot streak with Morocco. The Real Madrid player, scorer of a goal against Gabon a few days ago, was back on target for the Atlas Lions on the second day of qualifying for the Africa Cup of Nations.

The playmaker, a substitute in the match against Lesotho, had to come on in the 57th minute to help his national team. However, the No 10 could not give his compatriots any joy until the 93rd minute.

Ziyech, in one of Morocco's last attempts, played the ball into the box to see if En-Nesyri was able to make the most of his strength. The Fenerbahce striker, with no-one on him, chested the ball down to Brahim.

The ‘Merengue’, very attentive to the move, received from his teammate and left an opponent on the floor, as he thought the Moroccan international was going to shoot. The move continued and he dribbled past another opponent to fire a right-footed shot straight into the back of the net.
