Morocco Defeats Canada in World Cup

Morocco defeated Canada 3-0 in the World Cup Round of 16, advancing to the quarterfinals despite a frantic first half performance.

Atlas Lions midfielder Azzedine Ounahi scored twice to lead Morocco past Canada in Houston. Morocco was rattled in the first half, with Canada pressing aggressively and creating chances. The Atlas Lions regrouped at halftime and took control after Ounahi's goal five minutes into the second half.

Canada's historic run ended despite their best efforts, with key players including Alphonso Davies missing due to injuries. The co-hosts had their deepest World Cup run ever, but Morocco's experience and composure under pressure proved decisive. sportnewz.click
