The Moroccan national team missed a golden opportunity after achieving a historic victory over the world champion, the Argentine national team, and lost a golden opportunity to book its ticket to the quarter-finals by losing to Ukraine, which was depleted, 1-2.
Morocco found themselves behind to a goal by Dmytro Kryshkiv in the 22nd minute, but managed to equalise in the second half through the competition’s top scorer so far with three goals, Soufiane Rahimi in the 64th minute from a penalty kick that led to the expulsion of Ukrainian defender Volodymyr Saliuk.
The Moroccan team went all out in search of a winning goal in the face of its opponent’s numerical disadvantage, and it had several attempts, but its attackers failed to translate them into a goal, so they paid a heavy price by conceding a fatal goal in the eighth minute of stoppage time, scored by Igor Krasnobir.
This is Morocco’s first loss after its valuable 2-1 victory over Argentina in the first round, giving up the lead in Group Two on goal difference to the Argentine national team.
