    El Haj been lucky on a few occasions now.

    She showed her frustrations earlier kicking the ball out of play too.

    Hanane Ait El Haj is really testing her luck. She flies into another latre challenge and the ref makes it clear that any more may result in a red to follow the yellow she received earlier.

    It's a perfectly floated cross from the right hand side from Becho.

    Redouani isn't aggressive enough to stop the ball coming in.

    Le Sommer times her run well to meet the cross and head it into the back of the net.

    GOAL - France 4-0 Moroccopublished at 71 mins

    Eugenie Le Sommer

    It's four for France and Eugenie Le Sommer has two of them.

    Vicki Becho stays onside to gather a lobbed pass out to the right. Her cross clears everyone but Le Sommer, who has found space at the back post to nod in.

    Predatory finish. It's what Le Sommer does.

  5. 'Ayane will help Morocco get forward'published at 13:27 British Summer Time 8 August 2023

    The introduction of Ayane for Morocco is a good one.

    She is very pacey and likes to run beyond the defence. She will try to stretch that France back line.

    A fine run from Sakina Karchaoui ends with her firing a shot straight at the keeper. France can hurt Morocco as much as they want to here.

    Morocco win a corner - the first of the game - but it is swung straight into the grasp of France keeper Pauline Peyraud-Magnin.

    France send on Vicki Becho for Sandie Toletti.

    Morocco make three changes. On come Sarah Kassi, Sofia Bouftini and Rosella Ayane.

    Khadija Er-Rmichi gets lucky!

    She comes out to try and claim a cross from the right but flaps and misses it. Behind her, Eugenie Le Sommer can't control and finish into the unguarded net.

    France 3-0 Morocco

    Another chipped Moroccan ball forward looks to set Sakina Ouzraoui Diki away, but it's too heavy and goes through to the France keeper.

    France have completely eased off the accelerator now. They're largely seeing out time.

    France 3-0 Morocco

    You can hear that the crowd in Adelaide are urging Morocco to get something here. Every time the ball is sent anywhere near the France half with even a sniff of an attack, the volume rises.

    France are in second gear now. Preserving energy for later endeavours.

    It is allowing Morocco a moment or two. The latest sees a cross from the right floated in and Pauline Peyraud-Magnin forced to come out and claim.

    Another Morocco opening. Their best of the game too.

    Ibtissam Jraidi is in down the right and gets into the box, but is met by the sliding Pauline Peyraud-Magnin, who knocks the ball against the Morocco forward with her hand and is rewarded with a goal-kick.

    Much, much better from the side in red and green, though.

    So much better from Morocco.

    On the front foot, getting Chebak into the game.

    It was offside in the end, but still encouraging.

    Hello!

    Morocco have had a touch in the France box and a shot.

    Sadly, it might not actually class as such as Anissa Lahmari was offside before she managed both.

    France are cruising into the quarters. Only a Moroccan miracle can change that.

    I think Morocco know they are a beaten team now.

    But it is about pride, they know what they are here to represent.

    It is about going out in the second half and not conceding any more goals, I don't see them being able to find anything in attack to get back into the game.
