Azzedine Ounahi scored twice as Morocco trounced the Democratic Republic of Congo 4-1 in Casablanca on Tuesday to reach the 2022 World Cup finals in Qatar.


Tarik Tissoudali and Paris Saint-Germain full-back Achraf Hakimi also netted for the Atlas Lions, who qualified 5-2 on aggregate after the first leg finished 1-1 in Kinshasa four days ago.


The outclassed Congolese Leopards trailed by four goals before Ben Malango snatched a consolation goal 13 minutes from time.


Cameroon, Ghana and Tunisia also booked their places in the finals on a frantic night of play-off action.
