Morocco U17 Suffer a Heartbreaker Start as Japan Seizes Early World Cup Momentum
Morocco’s U17 team opened their World Cup campaign in Qatar with a 0-2 defeat to Japan. The Africans controlled much of the first half and created several chances, but failed to convert. Japan shifted gears in the second half, taking the initiative and sealing the win with a late strike. The result puts Morocco under pressure to bounce back in their remaining group games. A tale of early intensity and a costly lapse at the death.
