Canada 0-3 Morocco - Azzedine Ounahi double helps knock out co-hosts to give Atlas Lions world cup last 8 spot.
Morocco Crush Canada 3-0 to Storm into Back-to-Back World Cup Quarter-Finals.
Morocco booked their place in the FIFA World Cup quarter-finals for a second consecutive tournament with a commanding 3-0 victory over co-hosts Canada. Azzedine Ounahi starred with a sensational second-half brace before Soufiane Rahimi sealed the win in stoppage time.
After reaching the semi-finals in Qatar four years ago, Morocco are now one step closer to another historic run. They will face either France or Paraguay for a place in the last four.
Canada started brightly, but goalkeeper Yassine Bounou produced two outstanding early saves to deny Jonathan David and Tani Oluwaseyi. Morocco suffered an early setback when top scorer Ismael Saibari was forced off injured, while tensions flared before halftime as Achraf Hakimi clashed with Richie Laryea in a scrappy first half.
The Atlas Lions exploded into life after the break. Hakimi's clever free-kick found Ounahi, who curled home a stunning opener in the 50th minute. Canada pushed for a response, but Bounou remained unbeatable, frustrating Tajon Buchanan and the Canadian attack.
Morocco wrapped up the contest in style as Brahim DÃaz set up Ounahi for his second goal following a lightning-fast counterattack. Rahimi then capped off a dominant performance, calmly finishing in stoppage time after another brilliant assist from DÃaz to complete an emphatic 3-0 triumph.
