Morocco and Madagascar won their qualification for the semi-finals of the African Nations Championship Chan-2024 this Friday, August 22. The Atlas Lions beat Tanzania in Dar Es Salaam, while the Barea eliminated Kenya on penalties in Nairobi.
The Madagascar managed to have its last pass, that of its qualification against the great team of Kenya, co-organizer of this African Nations Championship. The host country left with this exceptional advantage of resisting to the final, offers a record that has marked the spirits of athletes and organizers of this competition. She leaves the CHAN after a career without defeat in the group phase, only two goals conceded, and an inflated attack on block, with eight goals scored. It was she who opened the scoring just on the return of the break, at the 48’A the intermediary of the central defender Alphonce Omija (1-0).
Dominators in the game, the Harambee Stars have obtained several frank opportunities, but the precipitation gave each time this desire to dig the gap which would shelter them from an equalization. The game became more aggressive, as the minutes approached regulation time. Madagascar has shown resilience, and has managed to exploit its luck by equalizing shortly after the time of play on a penalty whistled for an obvious hand in the area (1-1).
Fenohasina Gilles was perfectly taking Bryne Odhiambo on the other hand to register his second achievement in this tournament (1-1, 69th). The very lively part, with this rage to decide between the two teams and avoid going to extra time. Purches that often end up with big regrets, those of not having managed to avoid them, not only but not to disappoint supporters who came to supports to stay in the race and to celebrate the next step, that promised during press conferences. But the co-organizer, will play the extensions which have not decreased the two formations, only the shots on goals were going to decide. On this slice it is the Malagasy who were more lucid, winning 4-3. Thanks to this success, the Barea reached for the first time the last square of the chan and continue to write an unprecedented page in their history. Kenya sees his journey stop facing disappointed supports.
Atlas lions release
Tanzania
A goal in the second period of Osama Lamlioui saves Morocco from the hands of Tanzania, and goes to the semi-finals of Chan 2024 by winning (1-0) at the Benjamin Mkapa stadium in Dar es Salaam.
We will remember that this is in any case not the day of co-organizers. After Kenya, eliminated by Madagascar (1-1,3 TAB 4), it is around Tanzania to leave this competition after having left an excellent borrowing of its participation. She marked this chan by finishing at the head of group B. His confrontation against Morocco left no doubt about his qualification, but this elimination will make this training who seduced this chan play with her game and her performances. Many people evoke his haste and his excess confidence throughout the game, which, according to them, are the cause of his elimination.
In a stadium full to crack, Tanzania is beaten thanks to a goal signed by Osama Lamlioui in the 65th minute. A defeat that will end up saying, to a supporter, at the end of the meeting “Our elimination was made when new facilities had just been inaugurated. Too bad, because we were almost convinced that we will at least play the semi-final ”.
But it is also true that this training deprived of the ball, and even dominated its opponent during the first half with a higher ball possession (66%). Six attempts to register against three for the Atlas Lions, were recorded. Morocco has reached the Chan semi-finals for the third time, and seven consecutive successes in the direct elimination phase since 2014.
