RABAT, Morocco (AP) — Sakina Ouzraoui and Hanane Aït El Haj both scored and Morocco earned a spot in next summer’s Women’s World Cup with a 2-1 victory over South Africa in the quarterfinals of the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations on Saturday.
Morocco took the lead in the 32nd minute when Ouzraoui volleyed a shot over South Africa goalkeeper Kaylin Swart.
Kgatlana closed the gap for South Africa with a goal that was awarded following a lengthy video review after she was initially ruled to be offside.
Kgatlana has nine goals in WAFCON appearances since her tournament debut for South Africa in 2018.
South Africa still has a chance to qualify for the World Cup.
