Criticized in recent months for his performances, Brahim Diaz delivered a strong response in the opening match of AFCON 2025.
Playing at home with Morocco, the Real Madrid forward embraced the pressure of his first major test with the Atlas Lions and quickly imposed himself as a key figure in attack.
After choosing Morocco over Spain in March 2024, Brahim Diaz entered the tournament as the main offensive reference in a squad without Hakim Ziyech or Sofiane Boufal. Despite finishing as top scorer in the AFCON qualifiers, doubts persisted among supporters. Against Comoros, he constantly demanded the ball, created danger, and won an early penalty, showing clear leadership.
His determination paid off in the second half when he finished a precise cross from Noussair Mazraoui to score a liberating goal. Applauded by the crowd as he left the pitch and named man of the match, Brahim Diaz turned criticism into recognition and set a strong tone for Morocco’s AFCON campaign.
