Ibtissam Jraïdi Honoured as TotalEnergies Woman of the Match in Morocco’s 3–1 Victory over Mali

Morocco secured a spot in the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations semi-finals with a convincing 3–1 victory over Mali, and striker Ibtissam Jraïdi earned the TotalEnergies Woman of the Match award for her outstanding performance.

Match Highlights

  • 7′ – Jraïdi strikes early: The forward opened the scoring with a calm finish, guiding a precise cross from Sakina Ouzraoui into the back of the net.

  • 79′ – Penalty converted: After Sanaâ Mssoudy was fouled, Jraïdi demonstrated her composure by expertly dispatching the spot-kick.

  • 89′ – Chapelle nails the third: Kenza Chapelle sealed the result by capitalizing on a mishandled shot by Mali’s goalkeeper.

  • 90+7′ – Traoré consolation: Mali’s Aïssata Traoré netted a late penalty, but it proved too late to alter the outcome.


Woman of the Match: Ibtissam Jraïdi

Serving as the key catalyst in Morocco’s triumph, Ibtissam Jraïdi delivered a commanding brace, showcasing clinical finishing and leadership under pressure. Her performance earned her the prestigious TotalEnergies Woman of the Match accolade.


Tactical Analysis

Morocco, under coach Reynald Pedros, exhibited control and discipline. The team’s tactical structure allowed wing play to flourish and limited Mali’s attacking opportunities. Mid-game substitutions, notably Élodie Nakkach and Sanaâ Mssoudy, helped sustain momentum and defensive integrity.


Road Ahead

Advancing to the semi-finals, Morocco will face the winner of the Ghana vs Algeria match later next week in their quest for a maiden WAFCON title.


Final Score:
Morocco 3–1 Mali
Goalscorers: Jraïdi (7′, 79′ pen), Chapelle (89′); Traoré (90+7′ pen)
