On paper, the Europeans also were in a good position, fixture against a side bottom of the log, and Morocco against the dominant Colombians.<\/P><P> goal by Anissa Lahmarri from a rebound after Ghizlane Chebbak&#8217;s penalty was saved, ensured the form book was shredded.Morocco finished second on six points, the same as Colombia.<\/P><P>Interestingly, they face Les Bleues of France, quarterfinalists in 2019, at the Hindmarsh on Tuesday.France knocked Morocco out of the men&#8217;s tournament in Qatar last December.<\/P><P>Nigeria and South Africa are the other African sides in the Last 16.
