With the result obtained in the early hours of Monday (29) to Tuesday (30), at the BBVA Bancomer Stadium, in Mexico, Morocco will face Canada in the next phase.

Game highlights
Goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen was decisive for the Netherlands in the first half, making at least two difficult saves to keep the goalless draw until half-time.

The match became more open in the final stage, and the Netherlands took the lead in the 26th minute of the second half: Crysencio Summerville advanced to the edge of the area and rolled the ball to Cody Gakpo, who finished past goalkeeper Yassine Bounou to open the scoring.

Morocco responded in second-half stoppage time, in the 45th minute, when Chemsdine Talbi crossed from the left and Issa Diop headed it in to equalize and force extra time.

In the extra 30 minutes, the teams adopted a more cautious stance, with Morocco maintaining superior possession, reaching 65% in the first half of extra time, without, however, achieving the qualifying goal. Verbruggen stood out again with a miraculous save against Soufiane Rahimi in extra time, keeping the Netherlands alive in the contest.

In the penalty shootout, Teun Koopmeiners opened for the Netherlands, but Neil El Aynaoui missed Morocco's first shot against the post. Justin Kluivert also made a mistake for the Dutch, also on the post, before Soufiane Rahimi equalized.

Wout Weghorst converted for the Netherlands, and Chemsdine Talbi responded for Morocco. Quinten Timber wasted the next shot, sending it wide, while Achraf Hakimi also hit the Moroccan post.

The series came to an end when Yassine Bounou saved Crysencio Summerville's shot, and Ismael Saibari converted the decisive penalty, sealing Moroccan classification 3-2.
