Counting among the most convincing favorites in the CAN group stage, like Senegal, Morocco is well represented in the typical team defined by Opta.
If Côte d’Ivoire and Cameroon almost died prematurely, and if Algeria, Tunisia or Ghana have already bowed out, certain nations have justified their rank as favorites during the first phase of the Cup of African nations. This is the case of Senegal – the only team to win its three group matches – but also of Morocco.
At the end of this group stage, the statistician Opta compiled his data to draw up a typical eleven since the opening of the tournament. A team with some nice surprises like the unexpected scorer from Equatorial Guinea, Emilio Nsue, who plays on a daily basis in the Spanish third division and has already found the fault five times in this CAN.
Two Senegalese and two Equatorial Guineans
In attack, the latter is accompanied by the Egyptian from FC Nantes Mostafa Mohamed. Two Lions of Teranga also appear in this eleven type: Lamine Camara and Ismaïla Sarr. The collective prize goes to the Atlas Lions and the three ambassadors who are Achraf Hakimi, Azzedine Ounahi and Hakim Ziyech.
The eleven of the CAN group stage (Opta):
Owono (Equatorial Guinea) – Hakimi (Morocco), Gaspar (Angola), Kekana (South Africa), Masuaku (DR Congo) – Ziyech (Morocco), Ounahi (Morocco), Camara (Senegal), Sarr (Senegal) – Nsue (Equatorial Guinea), Mohamed (Egypt).
