Host Country Morocco defeated Cameroon 2-0 at the Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium in Rabat.
Brahim Díaz opened the scoring in the 26th minute, deflecting the ball into the net (assisted by a header from Ayoub El Kaabi) to give Morocco a 1-0 lead at halftime.
Cameroon showed resilience with Bryan Mbeumo creating several chances and delivering dangerous set pieces. A key highlight was their strong shout for a penalty in the second half when Mbeumo went down in the box after contact, though the referee waved play on until the second goal came in the 74th minute from set piece play, when Ismaïl Saibari fired home a powerful left footed shot to make it 2-0, with Brahim Díaz of Morocco now having scored in every match of the tournament so far. This result secured Morocco's place in the semifinals for the first time since 2004.
The referee favor Morocco very well.
