Morocco has booked their place in the Round of 16 after defeating the Netherlands in a dramatic penalty shootout, following a 1–1 draw in their FIFA World Cup Round of 32 clash.
The match looked to be heading in favour of the Dutch after Cody Gakpo finished a swift counterattack in the 72nd minute, giving the Netherlands the lead.
The goal came in an emotional moment for Gakpo, who had recently suffered a personal loss.
Morocco, however, refused to back down and continued to press, creating several chances throughout the match. Achraf Hakimi came close earlier in the second half, striking the crossbar.
Their persistence paid off deep into stoppage time, when Issa Diop headed home an equaliser just a minute into added time, sending the match into extra time.
With neither side able to find a winner, the contest was decided by penalties, where Ismael Saibari converted the decisive spot kick to send Morocco through.
Morocco will now face co-hosts Canada in the Round of 16 in Houston.
