Regragui: Victory during Ramadan means a lot
Morocco head coach Walid Regragui: "We wanted to win after the World Cup and that's what happened. We're happy because it's the first time that Morocco has beaten Brazil in history. They are the first in the FIFA rankings.

"Despite some of their players not being here, Brazil is still a very high-level team. We also have injuries but we showed our mentality to hang on.

"This is the month of Ramadan, we have to go and pray Tarawih to confirm if it's true or not. Now we are going to celebrate but it's a long way to go.

"We must not get on fire. When I say we must win the African Cup, they say that I am exaggerating. I must be careful when I say that we are not going to play for the win but we only play for happiness.

"We have to recover very quickly because we have another match against Peru in two days. We have to move on. I will see if I am giving other players some minutes who deserve to play.

"We have to think about the FIFA rankings. We must keep the team at the same level but let's see."
