Morocco defeated Canada 3-0 on Saturday to book their place in the quarter-finals of the 2026 World Cup in a match played at Houston Stadium.
The two sides had previously met in the group stage of the tournament, with Morocco winning that fixture 2-1.
Azzedine Ounahi opened the scoring for the North Africans in the 50th minute after profiting from an Achraf Hakimi free-kick.

Soufiane Rahimi then finished off a slick move following another perfectly weighted pass from Díaz to wrap up the encounter in style.
