Morocco got off to a winning start in the Africa Cup of Nations but were made to work for a 2-0 win over Comoros. Noussair Mazraoui played a key role from right-back as the host nation eventually ground down determined opponents. He supplied the assist for the opener, controlling a pass by former Red Sofyan Amrabat and fighting for possession, before crossing to Brahim Diaz. The Real Madrid man broke the deadlock with his smart finish in the 55th minute. The points were made safe when Ayoub El Kaabi produced a stunning overhead kick to make it 2-0, with 16 minutes remaining. Amad (Ivory Coast) and Bryan Mbeumo (Cameroon) are in action on Christmas Eve (Wednesday).

FT
It was a decent performance from the Reds, with Ruben Amorim's men arguably the stronger side in parts, but the hosts did a good job of sitting in and protecting their lead in the second half. United had a couple of chances to puncture that advantage, but couldn't make our superior possession pay on this occasion.

Villa are starting to slow the game down and aren’t looking for a match settling-third. Unai Emery is spacing out his substitutes to try and take the string out of the Reds’ attack. Have United got one big moment in them?
