Morocco defeated Canada 3-0 to reach the World Cup quarterfinals, but the scoreline flattered the winners after a much tighter match than the final result suggests. Canada controlled large stretches of play with an aggressive high press under Jesse Marsh, creating more expected goals than Morocco, but poor finishing and a lack of clinical attacking play proved costly. Morocco capitalized on set pieces and second-half counterattacks, with Azzedine Ounahi scoring twice and Brahim Díaz providing two assists to secure the victory. Despite Canada's elimination, the performance highlighted the team's defensive organization and tournament progress, while Morocco advanced by showing the ability to win difficult matches even without their best performance.
