Africa-Press – Senegal. <\/strong><\/span>Senegal’s under-17 football team and Morocco’s, each seeking a first continental title in the category’s African Cup, will face off this Friday to the final of this competition in a duel that promises to be epic.<\/p>\n

With three successes, the Senegal team finished first in Pool A, ahead of the host country, Algeria.<\/p>\n

The Cubs beat in the opening match of the group, Congo (1-0). They then dominated Algeria (3-0) then Somalia by the same score, in their third match.<\/p>\n

In the quarter-finals, they eliminated South Africa (5-0) before leaving Burkina Faso (5-4 pens), after a goal everywhere at the end of regulation time.<\/p>\n

Senegal have scored thirteen goals, conceding only one since the start of the tournament.<\/p>\n

Senegal captain Amara Diouf is currently the tournament’s top scorer with five goals. He broke the record held by Nigerian Victor Osimhen who, at CAN U17 2015, managed to score four goals.<\/p>\n

Morocco presents an almost similar course. The Atlas Cubs also finished first in Group B ahead of two-time defending champions Nigeria, whom they beat 1-0.<\/p>\n

They dominated South Africa (2-0) before suffering a setback against Zambia (2-1). In the quarter-finals, the Moroccans eliminated the host country, Algeria (3-0). In the semi-finals, they secured their place in the final by beating (6-5) Mali on penalties, after a goalless draw, at the end of regulation time.<\/p>\n

Zakaria Ouazane, the Moroccan team’s top scorer, has three goals, the same number of goals as Moslem Anatouf of Algeria, Madou Doumbia of Mali, Vicky Mkhawana of South Africa and Emmanuel Mwanza of Zambia.<\/p>\n

In a press release published Thursday, the Confederation of African Football (CAF) hailed the success of this edition of the AFCON in Algeria, which aroused the interest of \u201cmany recruiters from African and European clubs\u201d.<\/p>\n

The meeting between Senegal and Morocco will take place at 21:00 GMT, at the Nelson Mandela Stadium in Algiers. The match for third place was won by Burkina Faso at the expense of Mali.<\/p>\n
