Morocco produced a ruthless second-half display to beat Canada 3-0 and reach the World Cup quarter-finals. Azzedine Ounahi broke the deadlock five minutes after the restart, before adding his second with eight minutes remaining as Canada struggled to find a response. Soufiane Rahimi then put the result beyond doubt deep into stoppage time, rounding off a dominant Moroccan win. After edging past the Netherlands on penalties in the previous round, Morocco’s World Cup run is gathering serious momentum. The 2022 semi-finalists would love to go one further this time around!
