Morocco Women and Colombia Women will finalize their 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup group-stage campaign at HBF Park on Thursday.
Both sides are coming into the game on the back of victories.
Colombia started off their campaign with a routine 2-0 victory over Korea Republic and followed it up with a shocking 2-1 win over Germany. Teenage sensation Linda Caicedo was the star of the show as she recovered from a fainting scare two days earlier to break the deadlock with one of the goals of the tournament.
Alexandra Popp equalized for the Germans from the spot with just one minute left in regulation time. However, there was still enough time for Manuela Vargas to head home a corner in the seventh minute of injury time with virtually the last kick of the game.
Morocco made their tournament debut with a 6-0 bashing at the hands of Germany. They recovered to defeat Korea Republic 1-0 in their second game last week. Ibtissam Jraidi's sixth-minute strike proved to be the difference between the two sides.
The win took the Lionesses of Atlas to third spot in Group H on three points. Colombia lead the way, having garnered maximum points from two games.
