Morocco will be at the appointment of the second round of the World Cup 2022. The Lions even finished first of their group F in front of Croatia, Belgium and Canada
Opposed to Canada for the third day of Group F, Morocco had to not lose to qualify. The Atlas Lions did better by beating Canada 2-1. They offer themselves the second qualification in the last 16 in their history in the World Cup.
Morocco is going to start with a bang. On an offer of the Canadian defense, Hakim Ziyech inherited the ball at 25 meters. He just has to put the ball in the empty goal, 1-0 for Morocco in the 4th minute. Ideal beginning for Regragui's men. Far from being satisfied with this lead, the Moroccans will accelerate. En-Nesyri was thrown in the deep by Hakimi and put a clear shot with his right foot for the second Moroccan goal (23rd). The Moroccan defense was impervious since the beginning of this World Cup, but it will give way just before the break. After a great bridge on Hakimi, the Canadian Adekugbe crosses back. Nayef Aguerd defies in his own goal (41e). Morocco thought they had scored a third goal through En-Nesyri, but Aguerd's offside call nullified the goal. Two goals to one at the break for the Moroccans.
Just like in 1986
In the second half, Morocco was content to manage its lead, leaving the ball to the Canadians. The latter struggled to be dangerous, however, until the last 20 minutes. In the 71st minute, Atiba Hutchinson headed the ball off the crossbar of Yassine Bounou. The ball comes back to Vitoria who puts his own head over. With three minutes left in regulation time, Bounou had a scare. The goalkeeper tries a chest control. Davies just misses to steal the ball and score in an empty net. The Moroccan defense will hold its advance until the end. The Atlas Lions finish first of their group (7 pts) in front of Croatia (5 pts), while Belgium is eliminated. After Senegal, Africa offers itself a second representative in the eighth round.
