World Cup -2018: Morocco qualified, Côte d'Ivoire eliminated

Morocco will return to the World Cup, 20 years after its last participation. The Elephants of Ivory Coast, they are eliminated. Tunisia has also validated its ticket for Russia.

There will not have been a match. At a stadium Felix Houphouet-Boigny topped, Côte d'Ivoire had to win against Morocco to qualify for the 2018 World Cup. Tense by the stake, unable to produce the game, the Elephants logically has been corrected by Atlas Lions who will remember this Abidjan evening (0-2) for a long time.

Two goals, signed by Dirar (25th) and Benatia (29th), sent Hervé Renard's men to Russia. They will play their first ever Mondial for twenty years and the French edition of 1998.

The Moroccans, once again, relied on their defensive base to build their victory. Against Côte d'Ivoire, they did not concede a goal, as was the case throughout the qualifying campaign (three wins, three draws, eleven goals scored, none cashed).
