Doha: Morocco and Oman played out a goalless draw on Friday in their FIFA Arab Cup Qatar 2025 Group B second round clash at Education City Stadium in Al Rayyan.
Morocco finished the match with 10 men after captain Abderrazak Hamdallah was sent off with a straight red card in the 53rd minute, yet the score remained 0-0 until the final whistle.
Morocco tried to control ball possession and set the tempo from the opening minutes. Amine Zouhzouh provided most of their attacking spark, looking to unlock the compact defence put in place by coach Carlos Queiroz.
Morocco created two clear chances, both for Hamdallah.
In the 29th minute, the Al Shabab striker ran onto a pass from Zouhzouh and hit a low shot from the edge of the box, which Ibrahim Al Mukhaini pushed away for a corner. Later in the half, Zouhzouh cut in from the right and crossed into the area. Hamdallah fought for space and flicked the ball on target, but Al Mukhaini did well to spoil his attempt again.
