RABAT, Oct. 7 (Xinhua) -- Morocco defeated Gabon 3-0 on Saturday to edge closer to the 2018 World Cup finals in Russia.
At the Stade Mohammed V in Casablanca, the Moroccan squad largely dominated the game, creating numerous goal attempts.
Khalid Boutaib was the man of the match, scoring at the 38th, 56th, 72nd minute.
Benefiting from Cote d'Ivoire's 0-0 draw with Mali on Friday, Morocco moved to the top spot in Group C with nine points, one more than former group leaders Cote d'Ivoire.
In the final-round fixture, Morocco will visit Cote d'Ivoire next month to get their ticket to the World Cup in Russia.
