GREAT CHANCE FOR EN NESYRI!
Morocco's best chance of the game so far. Hakimi on the overlap drills a low cross into the box, after two deflections it comes to En Nesyri who has to stretch to get a shot away, but he cannot direct it on goal as it rolls just past Thomu's right post.

A goal created from absolutely nothing! Mhango turns and shoots from 35-yards out and unleashes a vicious curling effort beyond Bounou into the top corner! Malawi are in front! Do we have an upset on our hands?
