El Kaabi Scores Morocco's 16th Substitute Goal in AFCON History

The Moroccan national team continued to enhance its historical records in the Africa Cup of Nations after striker Ayoub El Kaabi scored the second goal during their match against Comoros, marking the start of the Atlas Lions' tournament campaign.

El Kaabi's goal was significant, as it increased Morocco's total to 16 goals scored by substitutes in their Africa Cup of Nations history. This places them third in Africa in this particular ranking, behind leaders Egypt (19 goals) and Ivory Coast (17 goals).

This statistic highlights the strength of the Moroccan national team's bench across generations and the ability of substitute players to make a significant impact in major continental tournaments. Ayoub El Kaabi's goal further underscored this, as he continued to provide an offensive boost to the national team.

The Atlas Lions are expected to further increase this tally in upcoming matches, given the variety of attacking options available to the technical staff and the team's ambition to go far in the tournament.
