In a thrilling 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers match, Moroccan national team star Ibrahim Diaz excelled by scoring two goals in just three minutes to lead the Lions to a big victory over the Gabon 5-1.

Diaz scores two goals in 3 minutes and earns historic victory
During the match played yesterday Friday at the Dangondji stadium in Franceville, Brahim Diaz scored two goals in the 20th and 23rd minutes, giving the Moroccan national team a significant lead.
Thus, he scored his first goal in an African country outside Morocco, thus continuing his exciting debut with the “Lions of the Atlas” since his arrival with them.
Diaz’s distinguished debut with the Moroccan national team
With this double, Diaz scored his fourth goal with the Moroccan national team after seven matches, showing himself strong and highlighting his great role in the team. He also helped reinforce the superiority of the Moroccan national team, already qualified for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations, remaining in the lead with 15 points in five matches.
A bet with Hakimi and the absence of Ziyech
Ibrahim Diaz had a special bet with Achraf Hakimi and his national team teammates, as he committed to score a goal against Gabon in their first match outside Morocco, which was actually achieved. The match saw the absence of Hakim Ziyech due to injury, which gave Diaz the opportunity to shine individually on the right wing, to take his place in the starting XI in distinctive fashion.
