The eighth meeting between the two former African champions saw the Atlas Lions score with minutes left.
Morocco secured a come-from-behind 2-1 victory over South Africa in their opening match in the 2023 Afcon qualifying Group K on Thursday night.
Lyle Foster handed Bafana Bafana the lead with an early goal and the 1996 African champions were able to contain the hosts until half-time. However, the Atlas Lions came back stronger in the second half and they scored twice through Youssef En-Nesyri and super-sub Ayoubi El Kaabi to secure a victory at Stade Prince Moulay Abdallah.
Bafana coach Hugo Broos opted for lanky players due to Morocco's aerial prowess with towering Sphephelo Sithole starting in midfield on his debut for the national team. Taariq Fielies started in a three-man defence after being handed his competitive debut by the Belgian tactician and Foster led the South Africa attack.
