At halftime of this Zambia vs Morocco clash, the Atlas Lions hold a commanding two-goal lead.

The Atlas Lions delivered an almost flawless first half, racing to a two-goal advantage after 45 minutes against Zambia. El Kaabi and Brahim Diaz found the back of the net during the opening period. The Real Madrid star weaved past two defenders with a brilliant dribble to break into the Chipolopolos' box. His ensuing shot was on target but well saved by Mwanza. Nevertheless, Diaz doubled the lead for the Atlas Lions.

On the other side, the Chipolopolos are on the brink every time Morocco attacks, struggling to get out of their own half.
