Hakimi took up the responsibility of putting Morocco back into the game from the penalty spot with less than five minutes to the end of the game but he hit the ball at the crossbar. South Africa later went on to extend their lead during the stoppage time of the match to see the Bafana Bafana book their spot in the quarter-finals.

The 25-year-old apologised to his teammates and Moroccans around the world.

He said,

“I want to apologise for the penalty, I took responsibility to help the team, but unfortunately it didn't work. And what can I say about you my brother, Amine Adli. After everything you went through (loss of your mother), you came and gave everything for your country, we are so proud of you! I love you very much, my brother. Dima Maghrib! And good luck to the South African national team for the rest of the competition."

Morocco were one of the teams that were tipped by most sports pundits and football lovers to go all the way in the competition, especially looking at how impressive they were at the 2022 Qatar FIFA World Cup.

According to media outlet Morocco World News, Achraf Hakimi's mother, Saida Mouh, has reportedly reacted to the news in the circulation of her son allegedly putting all his assets in her name following the ongoing divorce battle involving the PSG star and his wife Hiba Abouk.

Saida Mouh had told the media outlet that she had not been aware of her son making such a decision.

Saida Mouh had reportedly said:

“if he has taken any action to protect himself, I'm unaware of it.

What's the problem if the news is true? If my son does not do this, he will not be able to get rid of that woman [Hiba Abouk].”
