Morocco coach Walid Regragui feels sad after losing second successive game at the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
The Arab country became the first African nation to qualify for the last four of the global showpiece, however they lost to the defending champions, France.
The Atlas Lions lost again to Croatia who clinched a play-off victory on Saturday. Josko Gvardiol gave Croatia the lead on seven minutes but Achraf Dari levelled just two minutes later. Mislav Orsic restored Crotia's lead three minutes before half-time.
"Sure, I am a little disappointed by this second consecutive defeat, but we did everything that we could," Regragui said.
"Physically it was difficult, our players got tired, it was very intense. We wanted to make the fans more proud than they already were, that's it."
The 2026 World Cup which will held across the USA, Canada and Mexico will be expanded to 48 teams and Africa will have at least nine slots.
