Morocco stormed into the FIFA World Cup 2026 quarter-finals with a commanding 3-0 victory over Canada in their Round of 16 clash in Houston. After a tense first half, Azzedine Ounahi broke the deadlock before scoring again after the restart to put the Atlas Lions firmly in control. Substitute Soufiane Rahimi sealed the win deep into stoppage time after being introduced following an injury to tournament top-scorer Ismael Saibari. Brahim Díaz provided assists for Ounahi’s second goal and Rahimi’s late strike as Morocco completed a dominant second-half display. The African champions now await the winner of the France-Paraguay Round of 16 match in the quarter-finals.
