Canada vs Morocco

Canada vs Morocco in the Round of 16, played July 4 in Houston, ended 3-0 to Morocco, with Azzedine Ounahi scoring twice in the second half and Soufiane Rahimi adding a late third, confirming Morocco as the first African nation to reach back-to-back World Cup quarterfinals. It was also the second straight tournament these two had met, after Morocco won 2-1 in the 2022 group stage courtesy of a Nayef Aguerd own goal.
Canada, co-hosting the tournament, had reached the last 16 by finishing second in Group B and then beating South Africa 1-0 in the Round of 32 through a Stephen Eustaquio goal in stoppage time, Canada's first-ever men's World Cup knockout win. That result made Canada the first co-host eliminated from this tournament once Morocco settled the tie decisively. Morocco's own route included a penalty-shootout win over Netherlands, 3-2, after a 1-1 draw in the Round of 32, having advanced from Group C on a tiebreaker behind Brazil after drawing Brazil 1-1 and beating Scotland 1-0 and Haiti 4-2.
