Morocco stormed into the quarterfinals of the 2026 FIFA World Cup with an impressive 3–0 victory over Canada.
A brilliant brace from Girona midfielder Azzedine Ounahi (50′, 82′) and a stoppage-time strike by Al-Ain forward Soufiane Rahimi (90+8′) sealed a deserved win for the Atlas Lions.
After an evenly matched and scoreless first half, Walid Regragui’s men came out with renewed purpose after the restart and gradually took control of the contest.
Their attacking pressure eventually paid off as Ounahi broke the deadlock before adding his second goal later in the match.
Canada enjoyed periods of possession but found it difficult to break through Morocco’s well-organized defense.
As the Canadians pushed forward in search of a response, the Atlas Lions exploited the spaces on the counterattack, with Rahimi putting the result beyond doubt deep into stoppage time.
Disciplined defensively and ruthless in attack, Morocco delivered another convincing performance to secure a place in the last eight.
Canada, despite an encouraging World Cup campaign, exits the tournament after being outclassed by a clinical Moroccan side.
