Morocco coach Walid Regragui was full of praise for his squad despite seeing them lose the World Cup third place play-off 2-1 to Croatia.
First half goals from Josko Gvardiol and MIslac Orsic condemned Morocco to defeat in a game where they suffered further injuries in defense, with Achraf Dari and Jawad El Yamiq joining players such as Romain Saiss and Aguerd on the sidelines, reports Xinhua news agency.
"We are disappointed. But when we wake up tomorrow, we will realise what we achieved. I want to congratulate my players. Maybe this was a game too far, but we gave a very positive image of our football," said Regragui, who was asked about his side's impact on African football after becoming the first team from the continent to reach the last-four.
