The Atlas Lions of Morocco have beaten Canada to secure 7 points in their last group F match. This was enough to settle the North Africans at the Top of the the table, having 3 additional goals to their credit.
Hakim Ziyech found the net in the 4th minute with an excellent solo lob using the left foot. The Chelsea attacker who has been warming the bench at club level seems to have brought some kind of spice to the Moroccan team.
Youssef En-Nesyri topped up for the Moroccans with a second goal in the 23rd minute of the first half.
The Canadians pulled one back with an own goal from Naïf Arguerd but they could not level up until the end of the game.
Morocco become the second African country, following Senegal to have qualified for the knockout stage of the Qatar 2022 FIFA World Cup.
