Colombia Tops Group H, Morocco Advances as Runner-Up

Colombia suffered its first defeat of the FIFA Women’s World Cup on Thursday but finished top of Group H after a 1-0 loss to Morocco.
The match’s only goal came in the first half when Nisa Lahmari converted a penalty for Morocco. Colombia goalkeeper Catalina Perez saved Ghizlen Chebak’s initial shot, but a defender blocked Sakina Ozraoui’s rebound, and Lahmari was on hand to tap in the rebound.
