Morocco is advancing to the World Cup quarterfinals after beating Canada 3-0 in Saturday's first round of 16 match.
While neither team was able to break through in the first half, Azzedine Ounahi eventually slotted home a well-worked Achraf Hakimi free kick to put Morocco up 1-0 in the 50th minute.
Ounahi then made it 2-0 in the 82nd minute, rounding off a sharp Moroccan counterattack. Soufiane Rahimi added a third goal in the final minute of stoppage time.
It’s Morocco’s second straight appearance in the quarterfinals after becoming the first African team to reach the semifinals in 2022.
