Central African Republic 0-4 Morocco 

The Atlas Lions completed a dominant win over Central african Republic to extend their lead in AFCON qualifying Group B, aided by a superb quickfire brace scored by AS Monaco's Eliesse Ben Seghir in the first half. The first was a rocketed volley into the back of the net to open the scoring for the future AFCON 2024 hosts, before doubling Morocco's lead only three minutes later with a low finish from the centre of the box (37'). Paris Saint-Germain's Achraf Hakimi played the full 90 minutes and kept a clean sheet whilst Osame Sahraoui of LOSC found himself a spot on the bench.
