"The blacks excel in the 'Power Ranking'"
The Spanish newspaper "Marca" emphasized that the Moroccan national team stole the spotlight in the "Power Ranking" classification of the best players in the match between Morocco and Brazil, confirming that the "Atlas Lions" dominated the highest ratings after the strong performance they delivered against one of the top contenders in the World Cup.
The newspaper explained that Morocco's clear superiority over Brazil at the "MetLife Stadium" was directly reflected in the players' ratings, as Moroccan players occupied the top three positions in the ranking.
Ismail Sabari topped the list of the best players in the match, having received the highest rating thanks to his goal and outstanding performance; while Ibrahim Diaz came in second, followed by Bilal Khannous in third place, and Ayoub Bouaddi in fourth place with a rating that reflects the high level he showcased in his first appearance at the World Cup.
"Marca" added that the first Brazilian player to appear in the ranking came in fifth place, goalkeeper Alisson Becker, indicating the difficulty of the match in which the Brazilian team found itself under significant pressure against a Moroccan team that imposed its style and control over the course of the game.
The newspaper confirmed that Brazil delivered a modest performance, as aside from Vinicius Junior's goal, the rest of its stars failed to make an impact, with both Raphinha and Vinicius not showing the expected level against the organization and collective strength of the "Atlas Lions."
"Marca" concluded its report by noting that Sabari was the man of the match, with notable performances from Nail Al-Ainawi and Ayoub Bouaddi; in a match that reaffirmed that the Moroccan national team possesses a strong midfield capable of competing with the world's top teams.
