Friday night’s quarterfinal crackle with attacking flair as Bryan Mbeumo’s direct pace and
relentless running for Cameroon collide with the in-form Brahim Díaz, whose movement and
ruthless finishing have lit up the tournament for hosts Morocco.
Their duel could swing momentum, unpick defences and define a high-stakes, emotionally charged contest.
Tactical outlook
David Pagou v Walid Regragui
The tactical subplot contrasts David Pagou’s swift, pragmatic imprint after taking charge on the eve of the tournament with Walid Regragui’s well-drilled, possession-savvy Morocco.
Pagou must balance simplicity and belief, while Regragui leans on cohesion, pressing triggers and controlled aggression to manage expectations and impose authority on home soil.
