Afcon 2019: Morocco didn't start the tournament well - Renard

Morocco coach Herve Renard has stated his outfit are leaving no stone unturned to avoid any shock when they face Benin in the Round of 16 at the ongoing Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) in Egypt.

The 1976 champions are set to face The Squirrels at Al-Salam Stadium in Cairo in the first match of the knockout stage, the latter having progressed from the group for the first time in their history.

With three draws to progress to the Round of 16, the west Africans, who are playing at Afcon for the fourth time, are interestingly still chasing their first victory in Afcon history.
