    Croatia edge Morocco 2-1 to clinch third spot at World Cup

    Canada Global (Web News) Croatia left Qatar on a high note after defeating injury-plagued Morocco 2-1 in the World Cup third-place playoff on Saturday. They had once again surpassed expectations after reaching the final in 2018.

    Although they lost, Morocco still has reason to celebrate after being the first African team to go to a World Cup semifinal.

    Two early goals inside the first nine minutes set the tone for a tense match, with Achraf Dari cancelling out Josko Gvardiol’s opening goal for Croatia.

    The bronze medal may have been little more than solace for Croatia and Morocco after their semi-final exits to Argentina and France, respectively, but both teams were keen to avenge their semi-final losses.

  • Bounou takes long and winding road to Morocco stardom

    Bounou takes long and winding road to Morocco stardom

    Canada Global (Web News) Yassine Bounou has shown patience throughout his career, but the Moroccan goalkeeper with the eye-catching moniker is demonstrating at this World Cup that he more than deserves to be on the big stage.
    Bounou, or “Bono,” as his shirt’s name appears, was left off the team for both the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations and the 2018 World Cup in Russia, although he was crucial in helping Morocco establish a new standard for African football in Qatar.
    With 14 foreign-born players on the team, Morocco has demonstrated its ability to be united despite its variety. There is no better illustration of this than the defence, which has only given up a goal in five games.

    In their tournament opener, Bounou held Croatia, who finished second in 2018, at bay. After standing with the team for the national anthems before the 2-0 victory over Belgium, he abruptly vanished just before the game.

    Since his return against his native Canada, the 31-year-old Bounou hasn’t made a single mistake. Despite an own goal by Nayef Aguerd, Morocco prevailed 2-1 to finish unexpectedly first in Group F.

    Amazingly, Morocco has not allowed an opponent to score at this World Cup, and that is still the case despite the North Africans needing penalties to defeat Spain in the round of 16.

    Bounou made saves from Carlos Soler and Sergio Busquets as Morocco prevailed 3-0 in the shootout to advance to the quarterfinals for the first time. Spain’s first attempt, by Pablo Sarabia, hit the post.
    In a 1-0 victory over Portugal, he was once more named player of the game after rejecting five-time Ballon d’Or winner Cristiano Ronaldo in stoppage time to put an end to his World Cup hopes.

    Brave Morocco advance as Spain flop in shootout

    Canada Global (Web News) After a cagey last-16 match between Spain and Morocco ended scoreless on Tuesday, Achraf Hakimi calmly converted a penalty to put Morocco through to the World Cup quarterfinals for the first time with a 3-0 shootout victory over the former champions.

    After Pablo Sarabia struck the post, Yassine Bounou of Morocco stopped Carlos Soler and Sergio Busquets’ penalty kicks, and Spanish-born Hakimi maintained his composure to secure his team a quarterfinal matchup against either Portugal or Switzerland.

    Twelve years after Ghana accomplished so in South Africa, Morocco became just the fourth African country to advance to the tournament’s final eight.

    After a tough game that ended in extra time with no goals and few chances on goal, Morocco benefited from the boisterous support of their red-clad fans in the shootout as Spain lost.

    Spain had more than 75% of the ball and nearly 800 passes completed, but Morocco troubled them on the break, and goalkeeper Unai Simon made some excellent stops.

    Morocco defeats Canada 2-1 to go toΒ final round.

    Canada Global (Web News) The passionate Moroccan team defeated the already-eliminated Canadians 2-1 on Thursday, ruthlessly utilising their opponents’ errors to advance to the round of 16 for the first time since 1986.

    Morocco needed to win or draw their final Group F game. To do so, Milan Borjan’s weak clearance that landed on Hakim Ziyech’s foot was exploited.

    In the fourth minute, midfielder Ziyech effortlessly floated the ball over the stranded goalie while being cheered on by a raucous crowd of Moroccan supporters.

    Morocco finished first in the group and will play the second-place finishers in Group E, which consists of Japan, Spain, Germany, and Costa Rica, after Croatia and Belgium drew 0-0 in the other Group F match.

    Canada, who is leaving the World Cup without a point for the first time since 1986, automatically qualifies for the 2026 competition as one of the tournament’s co-hosts with the United States and Mexico.
