Brahim Díaz Makes his Debut with Morocco and the Press Goes Wild
The Moroccan press highlights Brahim Díaz's performance in the friendly match against Angola, where he scored a goal for the "Atlas Lions" and played many minutes for Real Madrid's forward.
"Clearly, Brahim Díaz shone," says Le360, noting that despite the narrow victory (1-0), the team has been revamped with the inclusion of the Real Madrid star and AS Monaco's Eliesse Ben Seguir.
The Lions, they note, had "a great offensive game against an outnumbered and well-organized Angolan defense."
"First victory for Brahim Díaz and Eliesse Ben Seguir," states Medias24 about these debutants, highlighting that the team's narrow success has showcased the qualities of Díaz, Ben Seguir, and Soufiane Rahimi.
"Each in their own style, the three internationals have initiated a new offensive dynamic, although efficiency is still lacking."
Despite having 72% possession and five shots on goal compared to Angola's one, only one attempt found the net due to a touch from Angola's David Carno.
Wearing the number 10 jersey, Brahim played until the 86th minute in the friendly, where Morocco sought redemption after their disappointing performance in the 2024 Africa Cup, where they were knocked out in the round of 16 despite being a standout team in the Qatar World Cup.
"The Lions still lack efficiency, but it was a successful start for Díaz," concludes Hespress, highlighting the impact of debutants Díaz and Ben Seguir in the match.
"The Real Madrid player delivered an impressive performance and supported his teammates despite facing multiple fouls," they emphasize.
