Spain have reached the final of the men’s Olympic football competition following a thrilling 2-1 comeback victory over Morocco. The 2020 silver medallists overcame an early deficit in the semi-final, showcasing resilience and skill to secure their place in Friday’s final in Paris.
Morocco took the lead in the first half when tournament top scorer Soufiane Rahimi converted a penalty, marking his sixth goal of the Games. The North African team appeared poised to maintain their advantage as the match progressed.
However, Spain’s determination shone through in the second half. Barcelona’s Fermin Lopez capitalised on a loose ball in the penalty area to equalise midway through the period. The momentum shifted in Spain’s favor, and they continued to press forward.
The decisive moment came five minutes from time when substitute Juanlu Sanchez drilled home a winner, ensuring Spain’s advancement to the final. The victory in Marseille was a testament to Spain’s depth and tenacity.
Spain will now await the outcome of the second semi-final between France and Egypt to determine their opponents in the gold medal match. The final is set to be a highly anticipated clash.
Meanwhile, Morocco will compete for the bronze medal, facing the loser of the France-Egypt semi-final in Nantes on Thursday. The Moroccan team, despite the setback, has shown impressive form throughout the tournament and will look to secure a podium finish.
