Morocco secured a 2–1 victory over Paraguay in a friendly international on 31 March, with the North Africans converting their limited attacking opportunities into goals despite modest underlying metrics. Deployed in a 4–2–3–1 formation, Morocco generated just 1.2 expected goals from six attempts, of which four found the target, yet proved clinical in front of goal. Paraguay, operating in a 4–4–2 setup, dominated possession and created more chances with 11 shots and seven on target, accumulating 1.11 xG, but failed to capitalise on their superiority. Morocco's goalkeeper made five saves from seven shots faced, recording a 50 per cent save percentage, though the team's defence conceded 2.0 post-shot expected goals. Bilal El Khannouss opened the scoring for the hosts in what proved a narrow margin of victory. The result underscores Morocco's efficiency in transition play and defensive resilience in friendly competition ahead of competitive fixtures.
