Azzedine Ounahi's second-half brace drove Morocco into the 2026 World Cup quarterfinals with a clinical 3-0 victory over co-hosts Canada in Houston. Ounahi opened the scoring in the 50th minute, assisted by Hakimi from a free kick, before adding his second in the 82nd minute after a counter-attack. Brahim Diaz then set a new African record with his fourth World Cup assist, setting up substitute Soufiane Rahimi to cap the win deep in stoppage time. Canada captain Alphonso Davies did not play due to a hamstring injury that didn't feel right at training the day before. Morocco will now face France in the quarterfinals in Boston on July 9, while Canada's historic run ends in the Round of 16 — the furthest the nation has ever gone in the competition.
