Morocco’s Under-20 team, the Atlas Cubs, has made history by reaching their first-ever FIFA U-20 World Cup final after a dramatic penalty-shootout victory over France following a 1-1 draw in regular time. The game was a rollercoaster, featuring an early Moroccan penalty, a French equalizer, a crucial injury to Morocco’s starting goalkeeper, and a late red card for France. Substitute goalkeeper Ibrahim Gomez became an instant hero, holding firm to help secure a 5-4 shootout victory. This Cinderella story, which saw them top a group with football powerhouses Spain and Brazil, now culminates in a dream final against a dominant Argentina team that is on the hunt for its seventh title.
