| Morocco’s midfielder #16 Anissa Lahmari (2nd R) fights for the ball with Colombia’s defender #03 Daniela Arias (L), Colombia’s midfielder #06 Daniela Montoya (2n L), and Colombia’s midfielder #05 Lorena Bedoya during the Australia and New Zealand 2023 Women’s World Cup Group H football match between Morocco and Colombia at Perth Rectangular Stadium in Perth on August 3, 2023. |
Morocco have reached the last 16 on their Women’s World Cup debut after beating Colombia – although the South Americans progress as Group H winners.
Germany’s failure to beat South Korea means Morocco are into the knockout rounds as runners-up.
Anissa Lahmari scored the only goal via a rebound after captain Ghizlane Chebbak’s penalty was saved.
Morocco – who lost 6-0 to the Germans in their opener before successive wins – will face France in Adelaide next.
Colombia, who earned two wins in their first two matches and finish above Morocco on goal difference, will play Jamaica in Melbourne earlier on 8 August.
