The keeper has shone throughout the tournament for Morocco having conceded just two goals before the final, but his blunder for Tunisia's second is what he will be remembered for in this tournament.

Clayton, who earlier tested the keeper with a wicked volley, delivered a softly struck cross into the six-yard-area.

Fouhami inexplicably failed to collect the ball, leaving Jaziri to take advantage and tap in.

It was expected that a Morocco onslaught was to follow, but that never occured.

The Atlas Lions were a spent force. The youthful vigour had finally run out of steam.

For Lemerre's Tunisia though, their dogged determination in all areas of the pitch, proved to be enough on the day.

Of course, had Fouhami not fumbled, it may have been a different story.
