Morocco moved closer to a sixth World Cup appearance by drawing 1-1 with the Democratic Republic of Congo in the 2022 Qatar World Cup qualifiers in Kinshasa on Friday, March 25th, 2022.
A move that began with a superb slide tackle by Moroccan Romain Saiss ended with the Netherlands born Tarik Tissoudali rifling the ball into the net on 76 minutes in the first leg of their play-off.
English Premier League (EPL) side Brentford’s Yoane Wissa gave DR Congo a 12th-minute lead by sprinting down the wing, cutting inside and unleashing a shot from just outside the box that brushed Saiss and beat goalkeeper Yassine Bounou.
With away goals counting double, a 0-0 draw in Casablanca on Tuesday, March 29th, 2022, will suffice to take Morocco to the World Cup in Qatar.
