Denmark Lose Out Against Spain As Morocco Win Big
- Bilal El Khannouss plays a part in Morocco's big win
- Victor Kristiansen and Jannik Vestergaard both feature
- Wilfred Ndidi an unused substitute for Nigeria
El Khannouss was introduced as a half-time substitute in Morocco's 7-0 thrashing of Lesotho at Honneur Stadium in Oujda, which saw Brahim Diaz score a first-half hat-trick, alongside Soufiane Rahimi's brace and goals from Youssef En-Nesyri and Ismael Saibari.
The result ensured Walid Regragui's men maintained a 100 per cent record in their Africa Cup of Nations qualifying campaign, topping Group B by a margin of eight points.
Over in the UEFA Nations League, Kristiansen and Vestergaard both played 90 minutes for Denmark, twice coming from behind before losing 3-2 to Spain and confirming second place in League A Group 4.
After Pedri missed from the spot, Yéremi Pino gave the hosts the lead at Estadio Heliodoro Rodríguez López, but Joel Monteiro levelled matters in the second half. A Bryan Gil goal looked to have settled matters, until Andi Zeqiri equalised with an 86th-minute penalty.
The drama didn't end there and Spain were then awarded their second penalty of the evening in stoppage-time, which was duly converted by Bryan Zaragoza to claim three points at the death.
Earlier in the day, Wilfred Ndidi was an unused substitute as Nigeria lost 2-1 to Rwanda in the Super Eagles' final AFCON qualifier. Having already secured their place in the 2025 tournament, Augustine Eguavoen's side finished top of Group D with 11 points from six matches.
Danny Ward could be in action on Tuesday evening, meanwhile, with Wales set to host Iceland at Cardiff City Stadium (7:45pm GMT kick-off). It's the Dragons' final Nations League B Group 4 fixture, currently sitting in second place.
