-now the match should
be much more comfortable for Morocco

in the following when Namibia begin to push forward (without creating real
dangerous scenes yet)

a lot using offside, this sometimes works but sometimes creates space for
Morocco to play into

minutes a great run by Hadji along the right hand side, a brilliantly timed
cross and Camacho finishes with a touch of his foot before the keeper reaches
it - 2:0
-It bgets easier for Morocco
in the following
-('injury time) free
kick cross from the right, Namibian defenders play offside but one doesn't
and so 4 Morrocan strikers are free and onside in front of the goal - Camacho
scores - 3:0
-('injury time) Namibian
concentration shows some signs of deterioation and Morocco thinks goal
difference. But only some dangerous moments - no further goals
final score 3:0
Morocco had the necessary
patience and Namibia never really came close to scoring. |
