Morocco Advances to World Cup Round of 16 with Hard-Fought Win Over Canada

While the Moroccans were expecting an easy match, they finally suffered in the second half with possession largely in favor of the Canadians.

Everything had started well for the Atlas Lions with a very good performance in the first half and two goals scored, including a gem signed once again by Hakim Ziyech and a goal scored by Youssef En-Nesyri. The Canadians reached the Moroccan net before the end of the half.

Despite a lackluster second half that raises concerns about the rest of the competition, the Moroccans are qualified and take first place in the group (7 points) which sees the elimination of Belgium, 2nd in the world, and the passage of Croatia.
