01 · THE DISPATCH

Morocco secured a dominant 3-0 victory over Canada on Saturday in the round of 16 of the 2026 men's World Cup, advancing to the quarterfinals for the second consecutive tournament, as reported by i24NEWS.

Azzedine Ounahi scored twice and Sofiane Rahimi added one goal in the second half, after a scoreless first half. The win sets up a quarterfinal match later this week.

As The Zioneer reported earlier Saturday evening, this marks Morocco's second straight World Cup quarterfinal appearance—a feat that follows their round-of-16 win over the Netherlands on penalties on June 30. While top scorer Ismaël Saibari was injured in that match and is likely out for the tournament, Morocco's depth carried them through against Canada.
