Morocco Eliminates Canada 3-0, Advances to Quarterfinals

On Saturday night, Morocco triumphed over co-host Canada with a score of 3-0, advancing to the quarterfinals of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The breakthrough came five minutes into the second half when Azzedine Ounahi scored following a clever cutback from Achraf Hakimi.

Ounahi secured his brace with eight minutes remaining, finishing a swift counterattack that put the result beyond doubt. Soufian Rahimi further enhanced the scoreline in stoppage time by slotting the ball beneath Canadian goalkeeper Maxim Crepeau.

Despite a promising start from Canada, which created better early chances, they were unable to capitalize, allowing Morocco to take control of the match. With this victory, Morocco continues its historic run, aiming to replicate or surpass its semi-final appearance from the 2022 World Cup.

They will face the winner of the match between France and Paraguay, scheduled for later that night.
