Tooor for Morocco, 0:1 by Hakim Ziyech
Perfect start for Morocco! Steven Vitória puts his keeper under heavy pressure with a back pass. Milan Borjan is overwhelmed with the situation at the edge of the penalty area. He plays the ball straight into Hakim Ziyech’s feet. With an elegant lob, the striker places the ball in the empty goal from 30 meters.

While Canada are out of the World Cup after defeats against Belgium (0:1) and Croatia (1:4), Morocco is hoping to reach the round of 16. The North African country is currently tied with group leaders Croatia in second place. Behind them, Belgium is just one point behind. So Morocco is sure to qualify for the next round if Belgium wins or loses. In the event of a defeat or a draw, Walid Regragui’s team is dependent on support.
