As the Africa Cup of Nations heads into the quarter-finals, Morocco have set an unprecedented record in the tournament’s history.
Morocco became the first national team to keep a clean sheet in five consecutive matches at a single edition of the Africa Cup of Nations, a milestone that underlines their defensive strength before the knockout phase intensifies.
The Atlas Lions reached this mark after another shutout in their most recent outing, extending a run that has made them the tournament’s standout side at the back.
The record comes at a key moment, with the quarter-final schedule bringing tougher tests and little margin for error. Morocco’s back line has been one of the main reasons they have stayed on course, giving the team a solid platform as they look to go further in the competition.
With the last eight now in focus, Morocco enter the next round carrying both momentum and a piece of AFCON history.
