Morocco knew that a win against pointless Canada would send them through to the knockout stages of the World up and it took them just three minutes to open the scoring.
Att1...
Canada are already out of the competition after losing to Belgium and Croatia in their first two games, but will want to take advantage of the valuable World Cup experience ahead of their home tournament in 2026. Their young team presumably includes many of the players that will be present in four years time.
Canada have won plaudits for their attitude to playing good football, but it came back to bite them early on against Morocco, with Hakim Ziyech the beneficiary.
GOOOOOAAALL Hakim Ziyech scores first one for Morocco against Canada

Oh no, Milan Borjan! ?
A stinker from the Canada goalkeeper and Morocco’s Hakim Ziyech takes full advantage.
It’s bad news for Belgium!
