The hosts capitalized on their momentum, with Raiss El Fenni extending Morocco's lead to 3-1 in the 21st minute, followed by goals from Ismail Amazal in the 33rd minute and Bilal Bakkali in the 34th minute. Despite an effort from Anderson Fortes to reduce the deficit to 5-2 in the 37th minute, Morocco's defense held firm, resulting in a well-deserved victory that solidified their status as the top team in African futsal.
The triumph marked the Atlas Lions' first four-time continental champions and their third consecutive title, following their successes in 2020 and 2024.
