Canada vs. Morocco: Journey to Round of 16, Key Players
Canada secured its first-ever World Cup knockout victory last Sunday, beating South Africa 1-0. The lone goal came from midfielder Stephen Eustáquio, who unleashed a strike from outside the box in the 92nd minute. In the group stage before that, the Canadians had a win, a draw, and a loss.
Juventus star Jonathan David, who netted a hat-trick against Qatar, is Canada's top-scorer with four goals in as many games. The Canadians have also been boosted by the return of captain Alphonso Davies, who made his comeback as a 74th-minute substitute against South Africa after being sidelined for weeks due to an injury.
Morocco, meanwhile, have established themselves as a global soccer powerhouse. They reached the 2022 World Cup semi-finals, won the Under-20 World Cup last year, and won the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) earlier this year.
Ismael Saibari, Yassine Bounou (Bono), Sofyan Amrabat, and Brahim Díaz are some of the big names in the Moroccan squad, led by superstar defender Achraf Hakimi. They eliminated one of the tournament favorites, the Netherlands, in their last game and look well-positioned to beat Canada today.
The two teams faced each other in the 2022 World Cup, as well. Morocco won that game 2-1.
