The match in Rabat was a statistical landslide that made Wilson Chisala’s “overrated” comments look particularly poorly timed.
Morocco’s high press and relentless movement—led by midfield maestro Azzedine Ounahi—saw the hosts register eight shots in the first half alone. Zambia struggled to cross the halfway line for long periods, unable to cope with the link-up play between Brahim Díaz and Noussair Mazraoui.
By the time Chisala was introduced late in the second half, the game was already settled, leaving the midfielder to experience firsthand the level of play he had previously questioned.
