Morocco beat Colombia 1-0 to make it to the Women's World Cup knockout round, creating yet more history at the global tournament. Morocco is the first Arab or North African nation to go beyond the group stage at the Women's World Cup, and the only one of eight tournament newcomers to advance. Morocco's winning goal came in first-half stoppage time, when Anissa Lahmari put back a penalty-save rebound.
