The Qatari people chose to support fellow Arab nations following their elimination from the competition and were not disappointed when Ziyech opened the scoring in the fourth minute to give the Atlas Lions, as they are affectionately known, a glimpse of hope before Youssef En-Neysri netted the second of the match in the 23rd minute.
Nayef Aguerd scored an own goal in the 40th minute but that did not dampen the Morocco spirits as they held on untill half time. A total of 10 substitutions were made in the second half, five from each side, and seemed to take the momentum off the match but that was enough for the North Africans to secure top spot in Group F.
Morocco join Senegal in the next round as they will face Group E runners-up Spain, while Croatia will face Group E winners, Japan.
