Youssef En-Nesyri had to wait until he was on the substitutes’ bench before celebrating a goal that helped Morocco seal a 3-0 win over Tanzania in their opening Africa Cup of Nations game on Wednesday, according to AP.

En-Nesyri’s celebrations were initially cut short by the offside flag after he scored his team’s third goal in the 80th minute. He had already made way for substitute Amine Harit to go on in his place before a VAR check confirmed he had been onside for Achraf Hakimi’s cross.

It prompted En-Nesyri’s teammates to rush to the Moroccan bench to congratulate the Sevilla forward.

Two-time champion Congo had 25 efforts at goal as it was held 1-1 by Zambia in the other Group F game in San Pedro. It was the last of the first-round matches.

Kings Kangwa opened the scoring for Zambia in the 23rd thanks to quick thinking from Patson Daka. Congo goalkeeper Lionel Mpasi-Nzau emerged from goal to clear the ball, but Daka took a quick throw in to Kangwa, who scored from outside the penalty area.
