Morocco knocked Canada out of the 2026 FIFA World Cup with a 1-0 victory in Houston on July 4, and crypto prediction markets were nodding along the whole time. Azzedine Ounahi scored the decisive goal in the 50th minute, assisted by Achraf Hakimi, sending Morocco into the quarterfinals.
Before kickoff, Polymarket had Morocco pegged at roughly 55% implied probability to win.
A scrappy affair settled by one goal
The first half was more yellow cards than actual shots on target. The referee handed out six cautions before the break, while the two sides combined for just five shots on goal.
The second half brought the only goal that mattered. Hakimi, the Paris Saint-Germain fullback, threaded a pass to Ounahi, who finished in the 50th minute.
