2024 Olympic Games: Morocco thump Egypt to win bronze in men’s football

Morocco are Olympic Bronze medalists in men’s football after thumping Egypt in the bronze game on Thursday afternoon at the Stade de la Beaujoire in Nantes.

Morocco who lost 2-1 to Spain in the semi-finals, bounced back with the biggest win in the tournament thanks to Soufiane Rahimi double, and strikes from Abde Ezzalzouli, Bilal El Khannouss, Akram Nakach and Achraf Hakimi.

Ezzalzouli opened the scoring with a superb shot into the top corner after 23 minutes, before the tournament's top scorer Rahimi doubled the lead three minutes later with a fine header from Ezzalzouli's cross.

El Khannouss got on the scoresheet six minutes into the second half with a great low finish after a solo run into the centre of the box and Rahimi netted his eighth Olympic goal to make it 4-0.

Defender Nakach tapped in from Rahimi's pass and captain Hakimi completed the rout with a terrific free kick three minutes from time.
