France vs. Paraguay Live World Cup 2026 Updates, Scores and Highlights

Maybe one hydration break per half isn't enough 😅

Playing like a true No. 10

Morocco are through to the 2026 World Cup quarterfinals after a 3-0 win against Canada.

The Maple Leafs looked by far the most threatening team in the first half, with Tani Oluwaseyi drawing a fine save from Yassine Bounou after 10 minutes. 

But it was Morocco that took the lead just after the start of the second period with a training-ground free-kick routine. After Luc de Fougerolles felled substitute Soufiane Rahimi on the right-hand side of the box, Achraf Hakimi stepped up and drilled a pass to his left to Azzedine Ounahi. The 26-year-old struck a first-time shot through a crowd of players and into the bottom right corner, leaving goalkeeper Maxime Crépeau with no chance. 

After the opening goal, the game suddenly opened up, with both Canada and Morocco going for it in search of an equalizer and a cushion, respectively. That left some big gaps in both back lines, with Morocco in particular living dangerously despite being in front. 

That risk paid off, though, with the Atlas Lions breaking away on the counterattack in the 80th minute. It looked like Brahim Diaz might have spurned the opportunity, but he cut back to Ounahi, who smashed home his second and left Canada with no route back. 

Rahimi nearly made it three for Morocco, but his free header from near the penalty spot cannoned off the crossbar. However, he made up for it with seconds to spare, capitalizing on another Morocco breakaway and slotting home from just inside the box. 

France or Paraguay will be up next for Morocco, with the quarterfinal taking place in Boston on July 9 at 4 p.m. ET. Les Bleus and La Albirroja play at 5 p.m. ET on Saturday. 

Canada, meanwhile, will head home, although it will reflect fondly on a historic tournament that saw it win its first-ever World Cup knockout-round game.

Perfect set piece execution

It's 0-0 at halftime of the opening round-of-16 game at the 2026 World Cup.

Morocco has dominated possession, but Canada looks the most incisive, putting together some lovely passing moves to cut through Morocco's defensive third.

The best chance fell to Canada's Tani Oluwaseyi after 10 minutes, who connected with a delightful through ball, dragged it back to bamboozle the Morocco defender, and found himself with the goal at his mercy. His low strike was well saved by Yassine Bounou's outstretched leg, though. 

The exit of Ismael Saibari due to injury in the 22nd minute is concerning for the Atlas Lions now and if they progress further in the tournament, with the 25-year-old being Morocco's best goal threat. The Maple Leafs will see that as an unexpected opportunity to focus more energy on their attacking efforts and grab an unlikely victory.
