Group B is currently the most intriguing in terms of advancing to the knockout stages. All teams have three points and equal chances of reaching the quarter-finals. Morocco secured an incredible victory in their opening group match. Their opponent was Argentina, and the game was very dramatic. Morocco led 2-1 but conceded a goal in the 90+15th minute. The referee blew the final whistle, but two hours later, the match was resumed as VAR had disallowed Argentina’s second goal due to offside. In the end, Morocco held on to their 2-1 lead. In the next round, Morocco faced Ukraine. This time, the victory went to the Blue and Yellow, despite Ukraine playing with a man down.
As a result, Morocco now has three points from two matches and an even goal difference of 3-3. This is Morocco’s fifth Olympic tournament in the team’s history. However, they have never advanced to the knockout stages before, with their best achievement being 10th place in the 2004 competition.
For Iraq, this is their third Olympic tournament in history. In 2004, they managed to secure fourth place in the tournament. Iraq also has a chance to make it to the knockout stages this time, but they definitely need to win against Morocco, which will clearly be a tough task. They managed to pull off one surprise by winning a hard-fought match against Ukraine 2-1 in the first round.
In their next game, however, the Iraqis were comprehensively defeated by Argentina 3-1. Although Iraq managed to compete in the first half, Argentina dominated in the second half, and the Iraqis could not withstand the pressure. As a result, the match ended 3-1 in favor of Argentina. Iraq has three points after two matches, with a goal difference of 3-4.
