Morocco Advances to U17 World Cup Round of 16 with 3-1 Win Over Indonesia

Morocco started the match by focusing on attack, trying to take the lead quickly. The strategy proved successful, especially since a victory for Ecuador against Panama could have complicated the situation in case of defeat. Morocco’s first goal came in the 29th minute, with a penalty converted by Anas Alaoui.

Morocco then scored a second goal by Abdelhamid Ait Boudlal in the 39th minute, before Indonesia reduced the gap through Nabil Asyura. The first half ended with a 2-1 score in favor of Morocco.

After the break, Morocco maintained the pressure, with a third goal scored by Mohamed Hamony in the 64th minute. Despite attempts by both teams, the score remained unchanged, ending in a 3-1 victory for Morocco.

This victory places Morocco at the top of its group with six points, ahead of Ecuador. Indonesia and Panama are ranked third and fourth respectively.
