The Morocco women's team surprised everyone when they were above Germany in the group stage to qualify for the round of 16. However, against a French team that was too strong, the African representative could not continue to surprise.
This is considered the most difference match in the round of 16 of the 2023 Women's World Cup. France are fifth in the world, while their opponents are outside the Top 70. Morocco is the team with the lowest position on the FIFA rankings among the 32 teams participating in the 2023 Women's World Cup.
The result of the match was quickly decided in the first half when the French women's team scored 3 consecutive goals in just 9 minutes. This is not surprising as the European representative controlled the ball up to 70%.
In the 15th minute, after a good combination between Selma Bacha and Sakina Karchaoui, the ball was crossed into the penalty area and Kadatouidi Diani easily headed into the empty net. This was the striker's 4th goal after a hat-trick against Panama, and he also had 3 assists.
With this achievement, Diani rose to the same ranking as Wendie Renard as the French player with the most goals in a World Cup.
Diani himself later assisted Kenza Dali to double the gap. The nightmare for the Ma Roc women's team did not stop when Eugenie Le Sommer put his name on the scoreboard, the creator was Diani.
conceding 3 goals quickly, the girls of Morocco were clearly discouraged and could only endure the match in the second half. They even conceded another goal in the 70th minute. Le Sommer easily completed his double after an assist from Vicki Becho.
easily defeating Morocco 4-0, the French women's players confidently advanced to the quarter-finals of the 2023 World Cup against host Australia.
