The Atlas Lions, who are the first African side to reach the last four of a World Cup, beat Brazil, themselves five time World Cup winners, 2-1 in a friendly on Saturday.

It came just a day after Morocco’s place in the 2023 Afcon was sealed without kicking a ball. A 2-2 draw between South Africa and Liberia meant neither country can catch Regragui’s team in Group K. Sofiane Boufal and Abdelhamid Sabiri’s goals in Tangier earned Morocco the win over Brazil with Manchester United midfielder Casemiro pulling one back for the Selecao.

Having record two wins against Liberia and South Africa so far, it meant that Morocco qualify from a group reduced to three sides after Zimbabwe were suspended by Fifa for government interference.
