Notes: Chiba was suspended for this game
Just like the previous games, Hadji mainly played the first half on the right wing of Morocco's attack, then in the second half, he would mainly operate on the left wing
Chippo received his second yellow card of the tournament at the 81st minute, meaning that in case Morocco qualified for the Knockout Stage, he would be suspended
Both teams needed to win this game and to hope Norway drew or lost their final group stage game against Brazil in order to qualify for the Knockout Stage of the competition, Morocco won this game, however Norway succeeded in the most unlikely scenario as they defeated in extremis the defending World Champions, eliminating Morocco from the competition
