Ounai put on an outstanding performance in the match between the Moroccan national team and Gabon.

The Panathinaikos star was the best player on the field during the 76 minutes he played, earning overwhelmingly positive reviews for his performance.

A well-known Moroccan website, in its report on the country’s national team’s 2-0 victory, referred to the Panathinaikos player as one who stood out on the field, “seeming to glide across the pitch,” as the writer noted.

“Undoubtedly the most technically gifted player on the field. When Ounaï is having a night like this, he almost gives the impression that… he’s gliding across the grass, so smooth and natural are his movements with the ball,” “Sport.le360.ma” notes at the beginning of its article, and continues:

“Extremely comfortable in tight spaces—which he constantly sought out—he tried at every opportunity to take the initiative, dribble past opponents, and ‘break through’ the defensive lines,” he concludes.
