Morocco advance to the World Cup quarter-finals after defeating co-hosts Canada 3-0 in the Round of 16 in Houston. The match is decided by Azzedine Ounahi, who scores twice, with Soufiane Rahimi adding a late third goal. Morocco, who reached the last eight for the second straight World Cup, take control after a goalless first half marked by few clear chances and a higher level of physical play and bookings. Ounahi opens the scoring on 50 minutes, striking after a free kick to give Morocco the lead. Canada pushes for an equaliser but is unable to convert its chances. Ounahi then scores again on 82 minutes to extend the advantage. Rahimi seals the result with Morocco’s third in stoppage time. Canada exits the tournament as the first co-host nation to be eliminated. Morocco’s quarter-final opponent is set to be the winner of the later match between France and Paraguay.
