Morocco makes history! On the final day of Group B at the FIFA U17 World Cup, the Atlas Lions inflicted a stunning defeat on New Caledonia (16-0), setting the record for the largest victory ever recorded in this competition. This monumental performance will be etched in the annals of world football.<\/p>\n

A One-Sided Match<\/strong><\/p>\n

After being challenged in their first two outings against Japan (0-2) and Portugal (0-6), the Lions needed a resounding victory to hope for qualification among the best third-placed teams. Mission more than accomplished.<\/p>\n

From the very first minutes, Nabil Baha’s prot\u00e9g\u00e9s displayed unwavering determination and a desire to redeem themselves. The result: an avalanche of goals and an offensive festival rarely seen at this level. With sixteen goals, Morocco surpasses the previous tournament record (13-0 set by Spain against New Zealand in 1997).<\/p>\n

The Moroccans also managed to handle the two expulsions from New Caledonia, Glenn Dreuko (22nd minute) and Xele Canehmez (31st minute), both justified.<\/p>\n

A Collective Victory<\/strong><\/p>\n

This golden generation confirmed its full potential: ten different players found the back of the net.<\/p>\n

Moroccan scorers:<\/p>\n

Bilal Soukrat (3\u2019), Oualid Ibn Salah (11\u2019, 17\u2019), Abdelali Eddaoudi (41\u2019, 42\u2019), Ilyas Hidaoui (44\u2019), Ziyad Baha (45+2\u2019, 70\u2019), Zakari El Khalfioui (48\u2019), Nahel Haddani (56\u2019, 82\u2019), Abdellah Ouazane (71\u2019, 90+2\u2019), Ismail El Aoud (80\u2019, 90\u2019), as well as an own goal (76\u2019).<\/p>\n

Faced with an overwhelmed Caledonian team, the Lions expressed their determination and unity, symbolizing a cohesive collective eager to honor the national jersey.<\/p>\n

Qualification Hopes<\/strong><\/p>\n

Thanks to this resounding success, Morocco finishes third in Group B with three points, but a positive goal difference (+8) that could prove decisive.<\/p>\n

The U17 World Cup regulations allow the eight best third-placed teams to qualify for the round of 32.. The Lions now have every reason to believe, while awaiting the results from other groups.<\/p>\n

A Lesson in Humility<\/strong><\/p>\n

Despite the magnitude of the score, the Lions showed great respect for their opponents, celebrating each goal with restraint. This gesture was praised by observers, symbolizing maturity and fair play.<\/p>\n\n\n
