Imagine having the likes of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Mario Lemina in your squad and being thumped 5-1 at home!That’s precisely what happened to Gabon on Friday night as the Panthers were humiliated by mighty Morocco, that came from behind to annihilate the rival. The Atlas Lions have registered their fifth victory in the same number of games.Interestingly, Gabon got in front early in the game, through Denis Bouanga. However, that was it from the hosts, as the North African side managed to turn things around before the 20th minute.Brahim scores for Morocco to give them the lead against Gabon! pic.twitter.com/zTYjBLQhBu— Managing Madrid (@managingmadrid) November 15, 2024 Brahim Diaz scores once again!
