How Group A Table Looks Like After Morocco Lost 4:2

According to a report by FIFA on Tuesday October 20, 2026, the Group A standings at the FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup have changed following Morocco’s 4-2 defeat to Germany in their second group-stage match of the competition.

Germany secured an important victory over the host nation, strengthening their position at the top of the group with six points from two matches. Morocco, meanwhile, remain second despite suffering their first defeat of the tournament. Argentina also moved to three points after recording a 2-0 victory over New Zealand.

The results have made the battle for qualification from Group A more competitive, with Morocco and Argentina level on points ahead of their final group-stage fixtures.

Germany took control of their encounter with Morocco through goals from Marie Kleemann in the 27th minute and Lena Martens in the 34th minute. Clara Choisy added a third goal in first-half stoppage time before Mia Giesen converted a penalty shortly after the restart to give Germany a commanding 4-0 advantage.

Morocco fought back in the second half, with Nessma Mouradi scoring in the 64th minute and adding another goal from the penalty spot in stoppage time. However, the hosts could not complete their comeback as Germany held on for a 4-2 win.

In the other Group A fixture, Argentina defeated New Zealand 2-0, with Mercedes Diz scoring both goals in the 42nd and 69th minutes. The victory gave Argentina three valuable points and kept them firmly in contention for a place in the knockout stages.

Here is how the Group A table looks after the latest results:

Germany currently lead the group with six points and have established themselves as strong contenders to finish in first place. Morocco occupy second position with three points, ahead of Argentina on goal difference, while New Zealand sit at the bottom without a point.

Morocco will now need to respond in their final group-stage match against Argentina on Friday, October 23, 2026. The encounter could prove decisive in determining which team advances to the knockout stage and which finishes behind Germany.

Argentina will approach the match with confidence after their victory over New Zealand, while Morocco will be determined to recover from their defeat against Germany in front of their home supporters.

With Germany scheduled to face New Zealand on the same day, the final round of Group A matches promises to be crucial. Morocco and Argentina will both have an opportunity to strengthen their chances of progressing, making their direct encounter one of the most important fixtures remaining in the group.
