In the bronze medal match of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, Morocco delivered a stunning performance, defeating Egypt 6-0. Soufiane Rahimi and Abde Ezzalzouli set the tone for Morocco with goals before halftime.
The second half saw Bilal El Khannouss extend Morocco’s lead, with Rahimi adding another and Akram Nakach also finding the net. Achraf Hakimi capped off the scoring with a spectacular 30-yard free kick.
Rahimi’s two goals brought his tournament tally to eight, making him the first player to score in six consecutive matches at the Olympics.
The match began with both teams creating chances, but Morocco took control with two goals in three minutes midway through the first half. Ezzalzouli’s brilliant strike and Rahimi’s header gave Morocco an early advantage.
Egypt’s hopes were dashed shortly after the break when El Khannouss scored, and Rahimi’s follow-up goal solidified Morocco’s lead. Rahimi later assisted Nakach’s goal before Hakimi’s stunning free kick completed the rout.
This victory marked Morocco’s best Olympic performance, earning them a bronze medal, while Egypt finished empty-handed for the third time in their Olympic history.
