Canada 0-3 Morocco: Ounahi Brace & Rahimi Seal Quarter-Final Berth (Full Match Highlights)

On July 4, 2026, at the NRG Stadium in Houston, Canada faced Morocco in the World Cup Round of 16, with the Atlas Lions emerging victorious 3-0. Despite a dominant first-half performance from the co-hosts, who pressed relentlessly and created chances through Tani Oluwaseyi and Jonathan David, the match turned in Morocco's favour after the break. Canada controlled the first half, forcing Yassine Bounou into several saves, while Morocco struggled to find their rhythm. The turning point came in the 50th minute when Achraf Hakimi delivered a low free-kick into the box for Azzedine Ounahi, who fired a precise first-time finish into the bottom corner. Morocco doubled their lead in the 82nd minute through a devastating counter-attack, with Brahim Diaz releasing Ounahi to rifle home his second of the match. Substitute Soufiane Rahimi capped off the victory in the 90+8th minute, finishing another counter-attack after Diaz's record-breaking fourth assist of the tournament. Canada pushed for a goal but couldn't find a way past the Moroccan defence, with Bounou producing a series of outstanding saves. Morocco advance to the quarter-finals where they will face France, while Canada exit the tournament with their best-ever World Cup finish.
