Canada 0:3 Morocco — Match Report

Gary RedknappFootball AnalystMATCH REPORT

Azzedine Ounahi scored twice as Morocco comfortably beat Canada 3-0 in the World Cup round of 16, with the Atlas Lions now awaiting their quarter-final opponent after a dominant display. The first half was a scrappy, ill-tempered affair littered with five yellow cards, but Morocco always looked the more composed side.

The turning point came five minutes into the second half when Achraf Hakimi slipped a pass through for Ounahi, who finished smartly to break the deadlock. Ounahi doubled the lead with 82 minutes gone, converting Brahim Díaz's assist, before Soufiane Rahimi added a third in stoppage time from another Díaz pass, sealing a thoroughly convincing victory.

Canada never truly threatened, and Morocco were the better side throughout both halves. CheckLive's model clearly favoured Morocco, and the result confirmed that prediction, with the live signals backing the favourites at 2.84 odds and winning comfortably.
