Morocco were the best performers in Group C but failed to win the group after a 1-1 draw with Brazil, during which they could not put the Selecao away while in the ascendancy. They took just 70 seconds to see off Scotland 1-0 and toyed with ignominy against Haiti before eventually overpowering the underdogs 4-2.

Morocco's campaign was marked by dramatic moments: a quick goal against Scotland, a comeback win over Haiti, and a tense penalty shootout victory over the Netherlands. Despite their strong performances, they could not top the group due to Brazil's superior goal difference.
