Younes Belhanda and Hakim Ziyech scored in the first half to ensure Morocco continued to show good form.

 

The country finished their World Cup preparations with a confidence-building 3-1 away win over Estonia in a friendly international on Saturday.

 

Belhanda scored after 11 minutes and Dutch-born Ziyech added a penalty seven minutes before the break.

 

Substitute Youssef En-Nesyri added a third with 15 minutes to go but Estonia pulled one back through Ats Purje.
