Ounahi Double Puts Morocco on Brink of Quarterfinals: Second Goal Stuns Canada

Rabat – Azzedine Ounahi has put Morocco on the absolute brink of the World Cup quarterfinals with a brilliant second-half double against Canada. The midfielder struck twice in Houston to put the Atlas Lions in complete control as the match nears its final whistle.

The vital second goal arrived in the 82nd minute to break Canadian hearts. Real Madrid star Brahim Díaz unlocked the defense with a piece of pure magic. He delivered a perfect pass to Ounahi, who made no mistake and calmly slotted the ball home.

This late strike followed Ounahi’s first goal in the 49th minute, which originally broke the deadlock right after halftime. While Canada fought hard to find an equalizer, the lethal combination of Díaz’s vision and Ounahi’s clinical finishing has left the co-hosts with a mountain to climb in the final minutes of this intense Round of 16 clash.
