Morocco’s Fairytale Ends in Merciless Defeat to France
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

In a breathtaking Women’s World Cup showdown, France sent a powerful message to their opponents on Tuesday, setting the stage for an enticing quarter-final clash against Australia. Accompanying them into the last eight is Colombia, who will be facing England in the next round.

The competition witnessed the departure of Morocco, the last African country standing. Despite their fairytale run, they faced a merciless defeat, as an unstoppable France unleashed a relentless barrage of goals, scoring three times in a mere eight minutes during a ruthless first-half blitz. The final score read 4-0 in favor of France, with veteran striker Eugenie Le Sommer leading the charge with two goals, one in each half, while Kadidiatou Diani and Kenza Dali also showcased their brilliance on the scoresheet.

Herve Renard’s determined side will now set their sights on co-hosts Australia, facing them in a high-stakes encounter in Brisbane on Saturday. The winner of this momentous battle will advance to the semi-finals, where they will meet either England or Colombia, promising an electrifying showdown.

Reflecting on their achievement, Renard expressed satisfaction, noting, “We fulfilled our objective. You always want a little bit more, but it’s fine.” France, having suffered a quarter-final defeat as hosts in 2019 against eventual winners the United States, are eager to go beyond this milestone. A triumph against Australia would see them match their best-ever performance at the World Cup, akin to their remarkable feat of reaching the last four in 2011.

Renard further emphasized their ambition, saying, “We have matched our performance of four years ago, but our objective was to do better than we did in 2011, so we know what we have left to do.” The task won’t be easy, as they face a formidable Australian squad amidst a passionate and spirited crowd.

On the other hand, Morocco, despite bowing out, had already achieved immense success in this World Cup. Their journey from a 6-0 defeat against Germany in their debut to surpassing expectations by defeating Colombia and South Korea in the knockout rounds filled them with pride.

As Africa bids farewell to its representatives in the women’s World Cup, we celebrate the remarkable journey of the three African countries that left an indelible mark in the competition. South Africa, although defeated 2-0 by the Netherlands, and Nigeria, who lost 4-2 on penalties, both displayed their resilience and skill, while Morocco showcased their potential before exiting the tournament.

This remarkable display of talent from African nations foreshadows a bright future for the continent in women’s football, and it is only a matter of time before an African country lifts the coveted World Cup trophy, becoming a testament to Africa’s unwavering spirit and determination.
