Morocco reached the semi-finals by surprising everyone with a great performance in the men's World Cup. They also dreamed of playing the final after defeating France in the semi-finals. But Ashraf Hakimi-Hakim Jeeshra couldn't win that day despite playing well. After losing 2-0, they had to leave the last four. This time in the Women's World Cup, the women of Morocco got ahead of France in the knockout. However, these two teams did not meet in the semis, but in the second round match. But Moroccan girls could not avenge the loss of men. On the contrary, they left the last sixteen with a big loss of 4-0 goals.

Morocco, coming to the Women's World Cup for the first time, did not get off to a good start. They started their World Cup mission with a 6-0 thrashing by Germany in the first match of the group stage. But in the next two matches, they turned around and showed a surprise. They beat South Korea and Colombia to reach the last sixteen. But they could not make the dream journey bigger. Morocco's World Cup mission ended with a big loss to France. On the other hand, France got the ticket to the last eight for the third time in a row by sending off Morocco.

France put the game away 23 minutes into the first half at Adelaide's Hindmarsh Stadium. They found the ball in Morocco's net three times during this period, starting in the 14th minute of the match. France went ahead with a great attack from the left side. Sakina Karsawi took the ball from Selma Bacha and crossed from the byline to Kadidiyatu Diani in the empty space inside the D-box. An unguarded Diani headed the ball into the net to put the team ahead.

France took the lead for the second time before this goal. This time the goal came from an attack from the right wing. This time Kenza Dali gave the team a 2-0 lead with a great finish at the far post after receiving the ball from Diani.
Eugenie Le Sommer got on the scoresheet three minutes later.

Morocco lost by two goals because of their own defensive mistakes. On the byline, Moroccan defender Nesrine El Chad failed to clear the ball and it went to an unguarded Eugenie. Eugenie coolly wrapped the ball into the net and scored his 91st goal for the country.

After quickly digesting three goals, Morocco is in danger of a big loss. But even if they wake up a little late. The African nation kept France from scoring for the rest of the first half, despite failing to create any chances themselves in attack. The first half ended with France leading 3-0 at the break. France kept 75 percent possession of the ball in this half with 7 shots on 3 goals. On the other hand, with 25 percent possession, Morocco could not take any shots.

After the break, Morocco tried to settle down a bit. Apart from handling the defense, they also try to attack once or twice. But they could not put the French defense to much test. On the contrary, Morocco conceded 1 more goal in the 70th minute.

Eugenie also grabbed their second goal to make it 4-0 with a superb header from substitute Vicky Becho's cross. With this four-goal victory, France finally confirmed the ticket to the last eight. France's opponent in the last eight is host Australia.
