Morocco’s Ismaïl El Aoud was named player of the match by FIFA’s technical committee after the national U17 team defeated Mali 3 to 2 to reach the quarterfinals, where they will face Brazil.

El Aoud delivered one of the standout performances of the tournament for the Atlas cubs, combining technical precision with physical intensity.

The young forward scored a decisive brace, putting Morocco ahead 2 to 1 just before halftime, then adding the third goal in the 66th minute to seal the victory.

His influence in key moments and composure under pressure made him one of the most impactful players on the field, contributing significantly to what FIFA described as a historic qualification for the Moroccan team.
