Key Players and Goal Details

Yassir Zabiri – The Double‑Pack Hero

The decisive factor was the brilliant display of Yassir Zabiri. In the first half, Zabiri opened the scoring with a well‑timed run into the box, finishing a precise cross from the right flank. The second goal came just before halftime, when Zabiri received a quick one‑two with his teammate and struck a low drive past the Argentine goalkeeper. The German phrase “Dank eines Doppelpacks von Yassir Zabiri schlägt Marokko Argentinien mit 2:0” aptly captures his impact.

Defensive Solidity

Morocco’s defensive line, led by the experienced centre‑back Mohamed El‑Haddad, held firm against Argentina’s attacking flair. The Argentine forwards, including the talented Julián Álvarez (U20), were limited to a handful of shots, none of which threatened the Moroccan goal.

Tactical Analysis

Moroccan Strategy

Coach Hicham Arazi set up his team in a flexible 4‑2‑3‑1 formation, emphasizing quick transitions and high pressing. The midfield duo of Ahmed Ben‑Salah and Rashid Boudiaf disrupted Argentina’s rhythm, forcing turnovers that led directly to the two goals.

Argentinian Approach

Argentina entered the final with a possession‑based 4‑3‑3 system, aiming to dominate the midfield. However, the Moroccan press limited their time on the ball, and the lack of creative outlets beyond the flanks reduced their effectiveness. Despite several attempts to break through, the Argentine side could not convert their chances.
