Morocco romped to a 5-0 home win over Guinea Bissau in Rabat on Wednesday to go top of Africa’s World Cup qualifying Group I at the start of a busy week for the north Africans.

Achraf Hakimi netted from his wing back position to open the scoring just past the half-hour mark, before debutant Imran Louza converted a penalty on the stroke of halftime.
