Morocco Advances to World Cup Quarter-Finals After Defeating Canada

Morocco triumphed over Canada in their FIFA World Cup match, securing a spot in the quarter-finals for the second consecutive tournament. The match saw Azzedine Ounahi score his first World Cup goal just five minutes into the second half, firing from the edge of the box after a clever free-kick play by Achraf Hakimi.

Morocco doubled their lead when Ounahi finished brilliantly into the top corner following a swift counterattack led by Brahim Diaz. Soufian Rahimi capped off the victory with a calm finish in stoppage time, assisted by Diaz.

Despite Canada’s attempts to break through, including a shot from Jonathan David that hit the crossbar, they were unable to secure their first-ever knockout win in World Cup history. Morocco's victory sends them into the quarter-finals, where they will face either France or Paraguay on Thursday, July 9.
