Following their historic victory over Brazil, the Atlas Lions of Morocco have received glowing accolades from former Super Eagles head coach Sunday Oliseh.
Last weekend in Tangier, the North Africans upset the Selecao 2-1 in a friendly match.
Morocco took the lead in the first half thanks to Sofiane Boufal after the hosts withstood early pressure from the Brazilians.
Brazilian midfielder Casemiro of Manchester United equalized the score in the 67th minute.
With 11 minutes left, Abdelhamid Sabiri gave the Moroccans the victory.
Oliseh praised the former African champs on social media.
“Just Awesome. The focused “seriousness” that Morocco, Senegal, and other African countries are putting into their football development is not just lovely; it will also have a good Tsunami-like effect on their economies. Allez en avant, L’Afrique!!, the ex-midfielder said on Twitter.
On Tuesday, Peru will be the opponent for Walid Regragui’s team in another friendly.
Recall that Morocco was the first country from Africa to advance past the quarterfinals in the 2022 FIFA World in Russia.
