- Cody Gakpo put the Netherlands ahead in the 72nd minute and Issa Diop scored a dramatic stoppage-time header to force extra time.
- In the shootout Morocco goalkeeper Yassine Bounou saved Crysencio Summerville's kick and Ismael Saibari converted the decisive penalty.
- Coach Ronald Koeman said he had substituted Justin Kluivert late specifically for the shootout and called the missed penalty especially bitter for the player and the team.
