Morocco faces Ecuador this Friday in a friendly match as part of this month’s international window. Bounou starts in goal, but there are changes up front. The new coach is trying out an unfamiliar Diop-Riad pairing. Achraf Hakimi and Noussair Mazraoui remain on the wings.
The midfield is much more stable. But in attack, Brahim Diaz partners Abdessamad Ezzalzouli.
The Atlas Lions’ lineup: Yassine Bounou – Achraf Hakimi (captain), Issa Diop, Chadi Riad, Noussair Mazraoui – Neil El Aynaoui, Ismael Saibari, Bilal El Khannouss, Azzedine Ounahi, Mohamed Rabie Hrimat – Brahim Diaz and Abde Ezzalzouli.
Ecuador’s lineup: H. Galindez; P. Hincapié; William Pacho (C); J. Ordonez; A. Minda; P.Vite; Moses Caicedo; has. Franco; G. Plata; J. Yeboah; E.Valencia
