Sonia Abajiou opened the scoring before a New Zealand own goal increased Morocco’s lead. Imane Dhissi then added a third, while Hiba Youssoufi completed the victory from the penalty spot.

Youssoufi, who supplied an assist before scoring herself, was named player of the match. The result put Morocco at the top of the group on goal difference.

Germany, who had been identified as one of Morocco’s main opponents when the draw was made last May, faced a tougher test against Argentina. The European champions at this age level fell behind early but recovered to win 2-1, with captain Johanna Hebben playing a key role in the comeback.

Tuesday’s meeting will give one of the two teams a significant opportunity to strengthen their hopes of reaching the knockout stage. The top two sides in each group, along with the four best third-placed teams, will qualify for the last 16.

After their emphatic opening victory, Morocco now face a measure of their ambitions against one of European women’s football’s leading youth sides.
