Ouaddou celebrates his goal

Morocco 4-0 Benin

Benin goalkeeper Rachin Chitou had a nightmare as his side fell to a heavy defeat against Morocco.

Marouane Chammakh made him pay early on when he slotted home after the keeper failed to collect a free-kick.

Chitou then palmed his clearance from Youssef Mohktari's corner off his own defender and into the goal.

Fulham's Abdeslam Ouaddou struck a third after taking advantage of another fumble before Talal Al-Karkouri's 40-yard free-kick ended the rout.

In the second half, we scored three quick goals and won the match Morocco coach Badou Zaki

Morocco looked the more lively side as Chammakh opened their account in the 17th minute.

It came after a woeful effort by Chitou to collect a Moroccan free-kick.

Chitou's nightmare continued in the second half as the Atlas Lions scored three times in seven minutes.

The second came in the 73rd minute when Chitou, trying to punch away Mokhtari's corner, succeeded only in hitting the back of a defender.

He could only watch as the ball ricocheted into the net.

Two minutes later, Chitou came off his line but failed to control a Chammakh through-ball, giving Ouaddou an open goal and an easy finish.

Chitou then made it a hat-trick of mistakes, diving completely the wrong way for El Karkouri's free-kick.

The Squirrels' only real chance came towards the end of the first half when Moussa Latoundji forced Khalid Fahoumi to dive to his left to save a close-range overhead kick.
