Morocco made history in Santiago with a commanding 2–0 win over Argentina in the final of the U20 World Cup, securing the country’s first-ever title at this level. The result was not just a victory—it was a statement, delivered against the most decorated nation in the tournament’s history.
From the opening minutes, Morocco’s young squad showed they were not there to simply participate. Just past the 15-minute mark, Yassir Zabiri ignited the match with a stunning free kick. With flawless technique and precision, he curled the ball past a helpless Barbi in goal, leaving no doubt that Morocco meant business.
The momentum never shifted. Not long after the opener, a sharp play down the right wing saw Maamma outpace his defender and deliver a driven cross to the far post. Once again, Zabiri was in the right place at the right time. He met the ball with a clean, first-time volley that doubled Morocco’s lead and effectively closed the door on Argentina’s hopes of a comeback.
With this breakthrough triumph, Morocco has etched its name into the annals of youth football. Their performance in the final wasn’t just a win—it was a landmark moment that places them at the pinnacle of the global U20 scene.
