The Defending champions eventually lost 5-4 via penalties before record crowd at the Stade Prince Moulay Abdallah.

“We wanted to win the game, not just the World Cup ticket. Our substitutions were spot on and we can’t ask for more from the players, they gave their best,” Waldrum said in his post-match conference

“I am proud of the girls tonight, they gave everything and we can’t ask for more from them.”

The Super Falcons will now face Zambia in the losers finals, while Morocco and South Africa meet in the title decider.
