Both sides made winning starts to the tournament, although Morocco’s opening victory was considerably more convincing.

Backed by their home support, the Lioncelles de l’Atlas defeated New Zealand 4-0. Morocco had been unable to turn their dominance into goals for much of the contest, but Youness Rabie’s side pulled away after the interval.

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

Youssoufi provided an assist as well as scoring and was named player of the match. The result placed Morocco at the summit of Group A on goal difference.

Germany, one of the opponents Morocco were drawn to face in May, had to work harder for their points against Argentina. The European champions at this age group conceded early but recovered to win 2-1, with captain Johanna Hebben playing a key role in the turnaround.

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

Morocco’s opening performance announced their potential, but Germany represent a stronger test of the hosts’ ambitions and their ability to compete with one of European women’s football’s leading nations at youth level.
