Morocco

 

This is Herve Renard's first World Cup as manager.

The Morocco boss is the only manager to win the African Cup of Nations with two different teams (Zambia, Ivory Coast).

 

MATCH REPORT

Iran won its World Cup opener against Morocco in St. Petersburg, 1:0, thanks to an own goal in added time.

Trying to clear a last-second ball across the goalmouth, Aziz Bouhaddouz of Morocco dove for a header, and the ball went unerringly into the corner of his own net.

Morocco played the more enterprising, offensive minded game.

The team had several chances.
