Morocco Power Past Canada to Extend Remarkable Unbeaten Run at World Cup

Morocco continued their impressive World Cup campaign with a 3–0 victory over Canada in their round of 16 clash in Houston, extending what is increasingly being viewed as a historic run. Despite the convincing score line, the performance was far from polished, with Morocco registering just five shots on target—reportedly the lowest tally by a winning side in a World Cup knockout match on record.

The match itself was unusually scrappy in the first half, which saw more yellow cards than shots on goal, underlining the tense and physical nature of the contest. Yet Morocco’s defensive discipline and clinical finishing proved decisive, allowing them to control the game’s key moments despite limited attacking output.

The result extends Morocco’s unbeaten streak to 34 matches across all competitions, reinforcing their status as one of the tournament’s most consistent sides. While questions remain over the quality of some results in that run, their resilience and ability to win under pressure have fueled growing talk that Morocco are emerging as genuine contenders for the title.
