Match overview
West Germany narrowly overcame a determined Moroccan side, needing a late goal from Matthäus to secure passage to the quarter-finals. Morocco defended with discipline and threatened on the counter, forcing Schumacher into several saves. The breakthrough came just before the end, when Matthäus curled a free kick past Zaki. The Germans’ experience and patience ultimately made the difference in a match that was closer than many expected.
Trivia
Morocco became the first African team to reach the last sixteen of a World Cup. West Germany’s late winner spared them a major upset and kept their hopes of a third title alive[6][7].
