CHAN 2024: Morocco Stumble as Kenya Take Group A Lead
Morocco started strongly, pressing Kenya's defence, but failed to convert their chances. Ayoub Mouloua left the field injured in the 21st minute and was replaced by Younes Kaabi.
Kenya scored the only goal shortly before half-time, with Ryan Ogam finding the net in the 42nd minute with a low shot to the bottom right-hand corner of Al Harrar. Kenya's Chris Erambo was then sent off in stoppage time for a dangerous tackle on Anas Mahraoui.
In the second half, Morocco pushed for an equaliser. Sabir Bougrine's effort in the 65th minute went over the bar, their best chance of the game.
Kenya now lead Group A with seven points from three matches. The Democratic Republic of Congo are second with three points from two games, Morocco third with three points from two matches, Angola fourth with one point from two matches, and Zambia last without points from one game.
Morocco will face Zambia next Thursday at 3:00 PM (GMT+1) for their final group stage game.

CHAN 2024: Angola vs DR Congo – How to Watch & Predicted Score
DR Congo face Angola at Nairobi's Nyayo National Stadium in a Group A match that could determine quarter-final qualification at the 2024 TotalEnergies African Nations Championship (CHAN). Egyptian referee Mahmoud Nagy will blow the the kick-off whistle at 6:00 PM (GMT+1), and fans can catch the action live on BeIN Sports France, BeIN Sports MENA, and SuperSport. Two-time CHAN champions DR Congo have had an inconsistent start to the tournament. Their 3-1 victory over Zambia in the previous match provided a boost ahead of this crucial encounter. Angola, runners-up in 2011, come into the game with four points after a 1-1 draw with Kenya and a 2-1 win over Zambia, showing a disciplined approach under Portuguese coach Pedro Gonçalves with a 3-4-3 formation. With head coach Otis Ngoma absent due to illness, assistant coach Daouda Lupembe is in charge. 'Being afraid of qualification is normal. But being afraid of losing is what leads to defeat. We must take this pressure positively, it must motivate us,' he said. Lupembe highlighted the need for focus and careful midfield play. 'It will be difficult because in front of us, we will have a team at the top of their 3-4-3, they can hurt at any time. It is up to us to be focused in the midfield especially. Football is played on details sometimes that you work on, you can never reduce the uncertainties of football.' He also urged his players to manage the highs and lows of the game. 'Every match has its truth. There will be strong moments and weak moments. It's up to us to stay focused, to consolidate our strengths and to minimize our weaknesses. The whole Republic is behind these young people, and we believe in our ability to produce beautiful play and a good result.' Score Prediction: DR Congo must avoid defeat to remain in contention, while Angola can secure a quarter-final place with a win. Expect a tight draw with both sides capable of scoring, but also cautious given what's at stake. Let's say Angola 1-1 DR Congo. Tags: AngolaCHAN 2024DR Congo

CHAN 2024: Morocco vs Zambia – How to Watch & Predicted Score
Morocco head into today's African Nations Championship (CHAN) 2024 group match against Zambia knowing only a win will keep their quarter-final hopes alive. Senegalese referee Adalbert Diouf will blow the kick-off whistle at 3:00 PM Morocco time (GMT+1). Fans can catch the action live on beIN Sports France, beIN Sports MENA 6 HD, and SuperSport. The Atlas Lions opened their campaign with a 2-0 victory over Angola but slipped to a 1-0 defeat against Kenya. The result leaves them at the bottom of Group A, with three points a must at the Moi International Sports Centre in Nairobi. Head coach Tarik Sektioui stressed the need for focus and discipline. 'We have learned the necessary lessons after our defeat against Kenya and we are now focused on a victory against Zambia to take the three points,' he said. Sektioui acknowledged the criticism following the Kenya result. 'Criticism from fans is normal. What is not normal is for the national team to lose and people be happy. There are huge efforts being made to make the Moroccan people happy despite the circumstances,' he said. The coach pointed to limited preparation for several players, with some joining the squad without prior training sessions. 'Despite these difficulties, it is our duty to make the Moroccan people happy and choose line-ups that suit each player's situation and the group as a whole,' he added. Zambia, meanwhile, have endured a difficult tournament. Defeats to DR Congo (2-0) and Angola (2-1) have ended their qualification chances, but the Chipolopolo are targeting their first points of the campaign. Zambia coach Avram Grant urged his side to respond positively. 'We didn't want to lose the two games but it is part of the game. We are concentrating in our team not opponents. Sometimes you lose and draw. We will not copy Morocco but play something that is good for us. We respect Morocco and they play good,' he said. Grant added: 'There is no perfect game. We created chances but it happens. We will do everything to win tomorrow. We need to have the winning mentality, show the character after the disappointing two losses. We hope the players react well.' Predicted Score: Morocco are more likely to win. Zambia have lost both games and conceded four goals, while Morocco have shown they can create chances. If they finish better, a 2-0 win for Morocco looks the most likely result. Tags: CHAN 2024MoroccoZambia

What makes the difference is the mindset and the will to win». Reflecting on the Kenya game, he admitted that «we could have done better in the final third against a side that sat deep.

He added: «At CHAN, no match is easy, but we are determined to get a positive result and keep our campaign alive». «In the match against Kenya, we lacked the finishing touch.
