Morocco have reached the World Cup last 16 after a dramatic 3-2 win on penalties against the Netherlands on Monday following a 1-1 draw.
Ismael Saibari scored the decisive goal as he fired into the bottom left corner, while goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen went the wrong way.
Morocco will now face co-hosts Canada on Saturday in Houston for a spot in the quarter-finals.
"A really tough game against a really tough opponent. One of the best opponents you can face in the world. It's a top 10 of the world, I think a contender to win eventually the World Cup," Morocco defender Noussair Mazraoui said.
"The way that we managed to win today is a huge acknowledgement for us as a national team, of course."
