Morocco has qualified for the next round of the Women’s World Cup after defeating Colombia 1-0.
The victory sealed second place in the group.
Morocco’s progress in the World Cup is at the expense of Germany – one of the tournament’s favourites. Germany could only manage a 1-1 draw against South Korea and ended up taking the third spot in the group.
Morocco will play France next Tuesday in the round-of-16.
From the African teams, the Atlas Lionesses join Nigeria and South Africa in the knock-out stages.
