Zaha is released on the inside left. He's in the box, facing down the 'keeper, and he attempts to curl it into the far corner. It's too close to the 'keeper, though, and while he can't keep hold of it he pushes it away well enough.
35'
El Kajoui runs out to take the ball from Zaha's cross. Bony is a few yards away.. This is uninspired stuff so far.

31'
Congo have scored, putting them top of the table. Morocco are next on three, with Ivory Coast on two.
30'
Corner on the right, so another chance for Fajr to send in a cross. Curling it away from goal, Benatia appears to send a header straight at goal, cleared off the line, but he is booked for handballing it. What a witless decision from Benatia.
28'
So, there was that free kick a couple of minutes ago. There was that. That can't be taken away from us.
26'
Corner on the right, and Fajr wil take that, too - Bony heads clear.

Free kick for Morocco, to the left side of the box, about 25 yards out. Fajr whips the ball over the wall, the 'keeper beaten, and it crashes against the bar.
23'
Bailly and Gbohouo play their way around Bouhaddouz, who put them both under pressure.
22'
Mendyl gets high up on the left wing, but is crowded out by the defence. Toothless from both sides so far.
20'
Kalou curls it in to the near post, but it's headed out. The ball is back out to Aurier on the right, but his low cross hits the side netting.
19'
Kalou's free kick is deflected over by Benatia in the wall. Kalou will take the corner on the left. Mendyl and Zaha are having a row in the box.
18'
Zaha drives at goal. but doesn't release the ball quickly enough and is tackled. A moment later, Saiss brings down Bony on the right of the box after chasing the striker down from a 1-2 he played with Kalou.
16'
Bony meets the corner, and he meets it firmly, however he sends it miles into the air and a little wide.
15'
Zaha drives down the right after evading a couple of markers, and forces a corner.
13'
A long ball aimed towards Bony flies past him and to the 'keeper. Morocco give En-Nesyri one to chase, and it runs out of play.
11'
Bailly wins a free kick as he faces goal, under pressure from Bouhaddouz.
10'
Kalou robs Benatia, bursts into the box on the left, but he's eventually tackled and the danger subsides.
9'
Morocco scramble the ball out of the area, and Bailly concedes a goal kick.
8'
Gbohouo claims a deep, curling ball at the back post and sends a long clearance down the pitch. Bony wins a free kick in a similar position as Morocco justs had.
7'
En-Nesyri is fouled by Die in midfield, allowing Morocco to send in a free kick from deep. Fajr will take.
