Morocco dominated Canada 3-0 in their Round of 16 clash in Houston, clinching a quarter-final berth through a standout performance from defender Selim Ounahi, who netted twice, coupled with a last-minute strike by Mehdi Rahimi.
Though Canada displayed energetic pressing and created multiple opportunities early on, Morocco’s disciplined defensive setup and goalkeeper Bono’s command over key moments prevented any sustained threats until halftime. The Atlas Lions then asserted control with sharper focus.
The North African side’s tactical acumen and proven clutch experience distinguished their approach. Despite Canada’s high press, Morocco’s ability to absorb pressure and exploit counterattacking chances proved pivotal in securing the win.
As a result, Morocco will face either Paraguay or France in their next round, while Canada’s World Cup campaign concluded despite their commendable display on home soil.
