00:00Three games, one win, a draw and a loss, and yet they see themselves with an opportunity to probably cause the biggest upsets of the tournament.
00:06We saw how Zambia and Nigeria did. The favourites in that game were obviously Zambia, but Nigeria asserting themselves and stamping the authority at Wacom.
00:16Certainly been an exciting tournament so far in the group stages. A couple of key games are playing on to lose by four goals to nil.
00:24We're underway in Rabat, you can certainly hear that too from the crowd support.
00:31It'll be Tawane on that left-hand side. The defender is Eitel Hajj. She gets the better there. Oh, lovely chance. Good cross.
00:43It hung up there for a second or two was certainly a very good opportunity for Diara.
00:48Benzina. Maybe just a little bit too high.
00:56Benzina. Now back again with interest. Excellent first touch. Left-footed effort. Oh, that's just wide.
01:03Well, you warned us about her as well. This is, uh, Uzzrawi rather, the, uh, Spanish-born flanker.
01:17Right wing. But, uh, left-footed finish. Inches away.
01:22Rabat.
01:22Shemak. And here they come again. This is an easy chance to get the opener.
01:30The Rocco in the lead.
01:35It's taken all of seven minutes.
01:39The home side are on the score sheet and no surprises.
01:44Junaidi once more in the right place at the right time. Perfect finish.
01:52Perfect finish indeed. And she gets rewarded. She's one of those strikers that really work hard off the ball.
01:57She's very mobile. Opens and creates those spaces for the rest of the teammates.
02:01But this time around, she's the one that gets to profit. Good circulation of the ball from Morocco.
02:07And once again, Marley get punished because they just lose sight of their markers.
02:13And all on side as well.
02:16That's an excellent ball. Good first touch. Easy finish.
02:20And this will take a lot of the nerves and early pressure away.
02:24The burden of expectation that they might have, uh,
02:29been suffering coming into this game is all gone now with that early lead.
02:33They can free themselves up now in Morocco and enjoy this match.
02:38Look to, uh, extend the lead and cruise their way into the semifinals.
02:44Confirmed her participation.
02:46Now, Asata Traore.
02:49Another cross to the back post looking for Diara.
02:53Feels maybe she should get a corner out of that.
02:57Match officials don't concur. We will have, uh,
02:59uh, possession of Morocco despite all the protests.
03:06Yep. Traore just swings that cross.
03:09No played it inside.
03:10Mrabat's nice combination with, uh,
03:13tugged out.
03:15It's going to go wide from Shemak and square again.
03:19Righty looking for the shots.
03:24Shemak.
03:26And now cutting inside.
03:33On top of the goalkeeper.
03:35Swings it in.
03:36It's a decent ball.
03:38It's gone all the way in.
03:41Aisha Samake has Mali right back in the game.
03:45Referee says no.
03:50No goal.
03:55Yep.
03:56The offside is going to pull this back.
04:00To the great relief for the goalkeeper, I think.
04:04Does though, is it gives Mali the confidence they can get back in this game.
04:08Although that was pretty close to number two.
04:15It was now it is down.
04:18The referee.
04:20On side.
04:22Was she taken out?
04:26It's Benzina who puts the ball in.
04:31Challenge on.
04:32Uh, who's now it comes.
04:35After she touched the ball.
04:37And it was going wide.
04:45Time have been played.
04:46Referee says that's it.
04:48For the first half.
04:49So quick summation from your Amanda.
04:51This is a game that's certainly not over yet.
04:54Good start for the Moroccans.
04:55Really easing the pressure.
04:57Uh, taking that off their .
04:59Yep.
04:59I think Samake expected changes for me.
05:01Especially Msudi.
05:02Who's one of those players that can create openings.
05:05Create open spaces.
05:07As well as create goal scoring opportunities for her.
05:10As far as Mali concerned.
05:20Samake.
05:20Now a chance.
05:22Oh, she looked to just place that clever.
05:24And it clears.
05:25Shebak with a little touch on.
05:28Back in again towards the danger zone.
05:31Now Mali get the shot in.
05:34Effort from.
05:36Running ahead.
05:37Aital Hajj with a cross into the middle.
05:40Excellent opportunity here for Shreidi.
05:42Lays it back.
05:44Shot is blocked.
05:47Maybe one touch too many.
05:50Excellent.
05:51Bit of defensive work from Dembele.
05:54She missed the initial tackle.
05:57But, uh, she gets in the way there.
05:59A little lunge to block it.
06:02Yeah, I was worried just, uh.
06:04No signs of making any changes.
06:06She has some Sudi in the meantime.
06:07For Morocco.
06:08Down she goes.
06:10Penalty.
06:13Awarded by the referee.
06:15Who thought about it for a second or two.
06:22A little clumsily.
06:25And being caught by Conte.
06:27Almost swept her off her feet.
06:33I thought initially, uh, she might have slipped.
06:37Whistle blows.
06:40Drydie.
06:42Oh, that's superb.
06:49Struck with venom.
06:50Well, I'll tell you what.
06:54England and Sweden could learn a lot from her.
06:58Absolutely.
06:59And I mean, look at the celebration.
07:00It's giving Wakanda forever.
07:03She's a superhero.
07:04She's an absolute born winner.
07:08That was fired into the back of the net.
07:10Absolutely no chance for the goalkeeper.
07:14And it is Morocco and Schneidi who have two here tonight.
07:20Keeper goes the wrong way.
07:22She wouldn't have had a chance had she gone the right way.
07:30And finally, the home side have a second goal.
07:34And the celebrations can start here in Rabat.
07:37As we head into the final 10 minutes.
07:43Yeah, well, take.
07:47Now the floater.
07:48Oh, my word.
07:50Is that going to be an own goal?
07:54Or is that going down to Chapelle, who's just come on?
08:00She floated it in.
08:01It was looking to go wide.
08:03I think the goalkeeper single-handedly put that in the back of the net.
08:07Morocco have a third.
08:10And now a solid two feet in the semi-final.
08:20Let's have a look at it again.
08:31Well, maybe it was on targets.
08:34Chapelle floating it in there.
08:36and the keeper lets it spill this will tell us whether it was goal bound i think it might well
08:42have been is that going to go down as an own goal or will it go to chapelle
08:52around about two and a half minutes to go but rajee the substitute has just come on making a
08:58bit of a nuisance of herself in there they're looking for a penalty and they've got one handball
09:03well she's just come on baraji she's a looks a real handful for the defenders and uh yeah it's uh
09:11shabak a little unlucky under looks left looks right what's she gonna do asaita trawone scores
09:20marley get a consolation
09:27but time is running out here
09:33nicely taken kick yeah very well taken by trawone one person you would have expected to just step up
09:44and make sure that she converts and we she won't be really happy with that stepped off her line a
09:49little early so had she saved that could well have been brought back that's the end of the affairs here
09:55in rabat so morocco as expected march on but it was certainly no picnic for them here
10:01yep yep like you said the scoreline does look a little bit flattery but they had to really dig deep
10:07i think it was almost a reflection of the match they played against senegal
