The African vice-champions came close to elimination from the U17 World Cup. Morocco, trailing to Iran in the 73rd minute thanks to a Gholizadeh goal, finally equalized in stoppage time thanks to Azaouzi (1-1).
The Atlas Cubs went through to the quarter-finals on penalties, outclassing the Iranians (4-1). In the quarter-finals, Morocco will meet Mali. So there's bound to be an African country in the last four of this U17 World Cup.
