Ounahi Double Ends Canada’s World Cup Adventure as Morocco Book Quarter Final Berth
| 5 seconds ago
Co-hosts Canada’s FIFA World Cup 2026 adventure came to a end yesterday in Houston as Azzedine Ounahi’s second-half double and a late Soufiane Rahimi goal sent Morocco through to the quarter-finals for a second straight tournament.
The Atlas Lions made history as Africa’s first semi-finalists at Qatar 2022 and after shrugging off a slow start with a strong second-half showing here, they can now look forward to a Boston quarter-final on 9 July against the winners of the France-Paraguay tie.
For Canada, a nation whose footballers had never won a World Cup match before this tournament, there will be great pride in their run to the last 16 alongside the pain of this defeat.
