Morocco advances to the World Cup quarterfinals after beating co-hosts Canada 3-0 in the round of 16. Multiple outlets report that Azzedine Ounahi plays a central role, scoring twice to give Morocco a 2-0 lead during the match. One report places Ounahi’s second goal in the 82nd minute and describes it as a right-footed finish from inside the box. The third goal comes late, with one outlet noting a substitute, Soufiane Rahimi, completing the win deep into stoppage time. Several sources highlight the wider significance for Moroccan football: the victory sends Morocco into the quarterfinals for a second straight tournament, and the team becomes the first African nation to reach the quarterfinals more than once. Canada’s elimination means one of the co-host countries is the first to exit the competition, according to reporting from Canadian and international outlets. Across the coverage, the result is consistently described as decisive, with Morocco controlling the game and converting chances to end Canada’s run in the knockout stage.
