The goal also came despite a red card for Moroccan player Mohamed Mfid towards the end of the match, just four minutes after he started playing.
Morocco is the first team to qualify for the semi-finals, in which it will play against the winner of the match between Algeria and the United Arab Emirates, taking place on Friday.
