By Bakah Derick 


Sofiane Boufal set up the big celebration for the Atlas Lions at the 82nd minute when he struke in the killer goal as they opened their Africa Cup of Nations campaign in Yaounde on Monday 10 January 2022 against the Black Stars. 
The Moroccan had put up a world class performance from the start to the goal scoring moment. 
All efforts by captain Andrew Ayew for Ghana including giving his head to be "broken" failed. 

The highly expected fixture ended 1-0 in favour of the Moroccans with the goal scorer Sofiane Boufal awarded man of the match 
Both sides have been described by pundits as favourites in the group. 

Coach Vahid Halilhodžić and his men will return to action on Friday 14 January 2022 against first timers Comoros. 

Gabon later clinched all three points against tournament debutants Comoros following a 1-0 win.
