Morocco beats Canada 3-0 to reach World Cup quarterfinals

Morocco secured a place in the quarter‑finals after a 3‑1 victory over the tournament’s co‑hosts, with midfielder Azzedine Ounahi netting two of the three second‑half goals. The win ended the hosts’ campaign and propelled the North African side into the last eight of the competition, which is being held across multiple venues in the host nation.

The match remained tightly contested in the opening half, but Morocco broke the deadlock early in the second period and added two further strikes, one of which came from Ounahi’s precise finish. The remaining goal was scored by a teammate, while the hosts managed a solitary reply. With the result, Morocco now looks ahead to a quarter‑final clash against the winner of the other side of the bracket, while the defeated co‑hosts conclude their tournament run.
