Morocco move into a position of strength
Morocco followed their draw with Croatia by beating Belgium without conceding. The win took them to four points and gave their last group game against Canada a promising context. Belgium's opening victory no longer protected their position: a final meeting with Croatia would determine whether they could remain in the tournament.
