Rabat (Morocco), Oct 8 (IANS): Morocco defeated Gabon 3-0 to edge closer to the 2018 football World Cup in Russia.

At the Stade Mohammed V in Casablanca, the Moroccan squad largely dominated the game, creating numerous goal attempts on Saturday, reported Xinhua news agency.

Khalid Boutaib was the man of the match, scoring at the 38th, 56th, and 72nd minute.
