Morocco thrashed a hapless Namibian side in Accra thanks to a first-half hat-trick from Soufiane Alloudi. Alloudi scored within two minutes after Maroune Chamakh hit the post, his second came three minutes later, before Brian Brendell hit back for Namibia. A cross from Tarik Sektioui set up Alloudi's headed third, Sektioui then scored himself from the penalty spot. Moncef Zerka came off the bench to convert the Atlas Lions' fifth, heading in a corner at the back post. In an almost empty Ohene Djan stadium, in Accra, Morocco were quick to make their mark and took the lead after only two minutes, thanks to a close-range effort from Alloudi. Chamakh latched onto a long ball and burst into the Namibian area before striking against the post. The ball fell back at Chamakh's feet allowing him to play in Alloudi for a simple finish. The second for Alloudi came after five minutes when the Al Ain player played a one-two on the edge of the area before flicking over the advancing Michael Pienaar and slotting home past goalkeeper Abisia Shiningayamwe. The Atlas Lions were in total control with Youssef Safri a dominating figure in the centre of the north African's midfield. Namibia's warriors may be brave in name, but they desperately needed someone to retain possession. Youssef Hadji was next to go close, again troubling the Namibian defence by winning a ball in the air before hitting his shot at the keeper. The Brave Warriors, however, were not too disheartened and they struck back against the run of play after 23 minutes. Hamburg's Collin Benjamin sliced open the Moroccan defence with a through ball to Brian Brendell who struck home with panache from 20 yards to get his side back in the game. The goal was Namibia's first ever against Morocco, but their defence still looked desperately shaky, especially from balls delivered in the air. On 28 minutes the weakness was revealed again, when Sektioui broke down the left wing and delivered a pin-point cross to the back post for the unmarked Alloudi to head home and claim his hat-trick. Shots continued to rain-in on Namibia's Shiningayamwe. First a 25-yard free kick from Safri, then a rasping shot from Sektioui on the left wing.
