Hakimi makes Morocco history with first two-goal international performance

Paris Saint-Germain right-back Achraf Hakimi scored twice for Morocco in an Africa Cup of Nations qualifying match against Niger, recording his first double for his country.

The 28-year-old struck in the 27th and 45th minutes to reach the milestone. Hakimi had never previously scored more than once in a match for Morocco during his international career.

He now has 14 goals and 22 assists in 104 appearances for the national team. His Morocco debut came in autumn 2016.

Hakimi has also recently scored the first hat-trick of his career, finding the net three times for Paris Saint-Germain against Le Havre in a Ligue 1 match at the end of October.
