The Moroccan under-20 national team has achieved a remarkable milestone by advancing to the quarter-finals of the World Cup currently being held in Chile, following a victory over South Korea with a score of 2-1 early this Friday morning.
Player Zbeiri shone brightly, scoring both goals for the Moroccan team, the first in the 8th minute and the second in the 58th minute. The lone goal for the South Korean team came from a penalty in the 90+3 minute.
The Moroccan team displayed disciplined performance and managed to maintain their lead until the final whistle, securing a ticket to the next round where they will face the United States, who triumphed over Italy with a clean sheet of 3-0 in the round of 16.
Coach’s men continued their stellar performance after a perfect group stage, defeating Spain (2-0) and Brazil (2-1), before a formal loss to Mexico (0-1).
This qualification brings to mind the achievement of the 2005 edition in the Netherlands, when the “Atlas Cubs” reached the semi-finals and secured fourth place in one of their most notable global appearances.
