Debutants Morocco stunned Colombia 1-0 in their final group match in Perth to reach the last 16 of the Women’s World Cup at the first attempt, along with their opponents.
The world No 72-ranked Moroccans scored through Anissa Lahmari’s rebound after a saved penalty at the end of the first half, but their passage was only secured after South Korea held two-time champions Germany to a 1-1 draw in the other Group H match. Colombia topped the group with six points, bettering runners-up Morocco on goal difference, while Germany and South Korea depart.
