Morocco: Did Yassir Zabiri Miss His Chance?

Yassir Zabiri, a young forward from Racing Santander, was named in the starting lineup for his first match with Morocco's national team against Gabon (2-0). Despite a limited impact and a score of 6.2/10, he expressed pride in making his debut as a starter. Coach Mohamed Ouahbi defended Zabiri, citing the challenging context of his first appearance. Zabiri, who has scored 6 goals in 7 La Liga matches this season, was substituted in the 62nd minute by Soufiane Rahimi, who scored the second goal for Morocco.
