Morocco defeated the predictions by holding Croatia (0-0), vice world champions, in the first match.
For the first match in group F, Morocco defeated vice-world champion Croatia. It was possible to have hoped for more than a draw (0-0).
Beyond the excellent performance of the Atlas Lions there was a moment that caught our attention. The match referee noticed that one player was missing from the pitch as the teams returned from the locker room. And that player was none other than… Sofyan Amrabat.

The Fiorentina’s midfielder was slow to get back to the field. This delay was a good thing as it angered Walid Rgragui, his coach. The director of the match actually showed the Moroccan technician furious that he had cursed with one his assistants. The director then went to the locker to check on the 26-year old player. A few seconds later, he returned with the latecomer and took long strides to disembark.

Unusual fact that has not ceased reacting online since. Many curious people wonder why Sofyan Amrabat was so locked up in the locker room. One thing is certain: the answer did not stop the investigation. Atlas lionTo put on a great match at the Moroccan midfield, which greatly hindered the genius of Luka Modric, the Croatian genius.
Next Sunday, Morocco will face Belgium in their second match of Pool F.
