In a highly anticipated U17 Africa Cup of Nations match on May 14, 2026, Tunisia took a 1-0 lead over Morocco at halftime. The goal was scored in the 32nd minute by Tunisian forward Youssef Ben Ali, who capitalized on a defensive error from the Moroccan backline.
The match, held at the Stade Olympique in Rades, Tunisia, saw the home team dominate possession in the first half, with several chances created by midfielder Ahmed Trabelsi. Morocco struggled to find their rhythm, with their best opportunity coming from a free kick by captain Omar El Idrissi that went just wide.
Both teams are competing in Group B of the tournament, with the winner likely to secure a spot in the knockout stages. The second half is expected to see a more aggressive approach from Morocco as they seek an equalizer.
