Regragui urges caution as Morocco reach historic semi-finals

"We have not done anything yet; we must keep going one game at a time," Walid Regragui insisted after Morocco defeated Cameroon 2-0 in Rabat. Goals from Brahim Diaz and Ismael Saibari secured the Atlas Lions' first Cup of Nations semi-final berth since 2004. Regragui hailed the high-intensity first half at Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium as their best display since the 2022 World Cup.

He lavished praise on his "X factor," the amazing Brahim Diaz. The Real Madrid winger opened the scoring, tallying his fifth goal in five games, while leading by example through his tireless running and fighting. Regragui called the win historic, ending a twenty-two-year semi-final drought, but demanded players remain grounded. Meanwhile, Cameroon coach David Pagou departed with great pride, emphasizing his progressing team’s ability to inspire their millions of fans. Regragui now eyes further glory, aiming to make this journey even more historic for all the Moroccan people.
