Morocco held onto their 1-0 lead to record Africa's second World Cup win at the ongoing tournament, defeating South Korea in Group H. Ibtissam Jraidi scored the only goal of the game in the 6th minute, and Morocco defended resolutely to seal the victory. The win means Morocco now has a chance to progress to the second round of the competition, as they will be taking on Colombia in their final group match. Currently, Morocco is third in the group with three points, level on points with Colombia and Germany who will be playing each other in matchday two in the group today. The debutant Morocco will be hoping for a better result when Colombia plays Germany for at least one of the sides to carry the day, leaving the second spot wide open in the group heading into the final group matches in four days' time. The win is a major boost for Morocco, who are making their first appearance at the World Cup. It is also a sign of Africa's growing strength in women's football, with Nigeria having already recorded a win at the tournament. Morocco will be hoping to build on this victory and continue their progress in the competition.
