South Korea vs. Morocco highlights: Morocco earns 1st World Cup win, 1-0
The 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup continued Monday (on FS1 and the FOX Sports app) as Morocco took the field for the second time in its 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup history with a Group H match against South Korea at Coopers Stadium in Hindmarsh, South Australia on Sunday.
Both teams had been looking for their first wins in the Group Stage, with Morocco seeking its first-ever World Cup win.
The Moroccans collected their first World Cup goal early on when Ibtissam Jraïdi scored in just the sixth minute, in what ended up being the lone goal of the match. That goal was enough to make history and give Morocco the first win and keep its hopes alive of advancing from Group H.
