Argentina dominated possession, holding 71% of the ball, but struggled to create clear chances. Moroccan defenders stayed organised and blocked key attempts, while the goalkeeper kept the scoreline intact. Several VAR reviews and free-kick opportunities for Argentina were wasted.
In the second half, Morocco focused on defending their lead. Tactical substitutions reinforced the defence and midfield, stopping Argentina from finding a way through. The South Americans missed several chances and grew increasingly frustrated.
Zabiri was named man of the match for his two goals.
