WTF: Morocco smash in 16 goals at the U17 World Cup 🤯 | OneFootball

But that's a rugby score.

This Sunday, Morocco was playing for its future in the U17 World Cup.

Facing New Caledonia, the Moroccans absolutely needed a win to hope for a spot in the second round... and they certainly didn't hold back.

The Atlas Cubs simply dominated with a score of 16-0, taking 79 shots on goal and accumulating 10 expected goals. This is, in fact, the biggest victory in the history of the competition.

It's worth noting that the Caledonians were reduced to nine men as early as the 31st minute after receiving two red cards, while Morocco was already leading 3-0.

This scenario is all the more surprising considering that the Moroccans had lost their first two matches against Japan (2-0) and Portugal (6-0). Meanwhile, New Caledonia, who had also conceded six goals to Portugal (6-1), managed to hold Japan to a draw (0-0).

With this incredible result, Morocco secures its place among the best third-placed teams in the competition.
