In the final moments of the match, with Morocco struggling to break through a solid Nigerien team, El Khannouss stepped up to deliver for his side. Following a play initiated by Mazraoui, Brahim Diaz combined with a subtle back-heel before the full-back delivered a perfect cross into the box. Alert, El Khannouss rose up and headed the ball in imperiously, securing a valuable victory for the Atlas Lions at the last moment.
