Regragui's Comments After Victory Over Comoros

Morocco coach Walid Regragui commented on the Atlas Lions' victory in their opening match of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations, where they defeated Comoros 2-0 at the Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium in Rabat this evening.

In televised statements, Regragui said: "It wasn't easy to get into the competitive atmosphere; opening matches are usually complicated." He emphasized: "We didn't feel fear; rather, we were looking to score early goals. We know our strength will grow as the matches continue, especially with Hakimi's return and some players who were injured."

He added: "We didn't create many chances in the first half due to the lack of presence in the penalty area, but we corrected things in the second half thanks to the substitutions we made and the support of the fans."

Regragui continued: "We did what was required and achieved the win. Although our first-half performance wasn't at the desired level, the changes and the players' efforts contributed to securing the positive result."
