The margin of victory did not look feasible at half-time, in what was an insipid display by Mohamed Ouahbi's side before the break. Their frustrations were compounded by losing Ismael Saibari midway through the half.
Canada had several openings, with chances falling to Jonathan David and Tani Oluwaseyi early in the game. The first half had more yellow cards (six) than shots (five), which, according to Opta, was the first time that happened in the first half of a World Cup match since 1966. Azzedine Ounahi broke the deadlock in the 50th minute from Achraf Hakimi's cut-back and scored again later. Soufiane Rahimi wrapped up the scoring deep in stoppage time, with Brahim Diaz providing the assist. The Atlas Lions became just the second African nation to reach two World Cup quarter-finals.
