00:00Good Morocco was very very impressive they have to take that on in the second half and
00:05you have to channel all the players that came before them this is the greatest of stages and
00:10they're out there and they're right in the game and you would feel that
00:13their confidence is as high as ever look
00:18there are no changes from either side at this point a bit surprised about that from Morocco
00:26really am i thought mohammed uabi might have went to his bench his side looked tired
00:32as i said played at altitude in a grueling game a very tight physical match against netherlands
00:39for 120 minutes no changes is a shock i think if they start this half sluggish again there'll be
00:45changes very soon for them Morocco qualifying for three successive world cups for the first time
00:55and they get things underway rahimi up top replacing saibari who went off injured during that first
01:02half but apart from that it is the same 11s that started this game for both sides as
01:09the up plays the ball forward and the fusion roll is underneath it in the battle there with hakimi
01:15hosted high by bombito diop once again he was the hero late don't forget morocco
01:22were almost out against the netherlands before diop's stoppage time goal tied things up
01:28then they went to extra time and penalties as well and we talked on that night when we were hosting
01:32at
01:32jackpool plaza about the fact that it's pretty much the perfect outcome a drooling game at altitude
01:39went all the way to extra time and penalties and canada would need to take advantage of that today
01:46so far their performance has johnston up against alkanos forward it goes and buchanan
01:58wide to the right for hakimi
02:03wasn't particularly impactful during the first half ashraf hakimi now he's battling with
02:07richie larrea again it was quite a moment seeing larrea and hakimi and michael oliver involved in a little bit
02:14of a first half
02:16bust up yeah it was after hakimi's push because of his frustrations he's not been involved the right
02:20loop didn't get enough ball to him and didn't look like his energetic self said a lot to this right
02:27hand side
02:30i think second half his instructions will be to get forward more to go and find the ball and maybe
02:36even to to be higher and cross the pitch as we've seen in this tournament playing almost like a number
02:4310 at times
02:45johnston with the pressure on once more as they go back here towards masraoui
02:51left back didn't have the best of first halves for
02:55morocco it was his second season at manchester united as they finished third
02:58was in the team of the tournament at the afcon earlier this year started all seven games
03:06one back here and it's picked up by tani al-ashay
03:09didn't quite find david now it's back towards al-ashay and it's gone behind for a corner
03:15off isa diop good football
03:19too sure what the stackers chatting with michael oliver about
03:24oh al-ashay did ever so well
03:29oh i'm ed being pulled back oh she's right onto it tries a little give and go
03:35tries to get it back to david but can't quite get it through but it is a corner on this
03:40near side
03:41the stacky all with these in swinging deliveries has been particularly effective
03:47most canadian players starting towards the back
03:50of the goal we'll see their movement here
03:53lots of movement inside the area as buchanan came all the way across the box to go short there for
03:58ustakio that cap here for ali ahmed here's rich in array he's got sigur in space to the right of
04:03the
04:03box up against masraoui the ball in diffuser all gets a touch to it
04:08it was never going to trouble bono no i don't think that was the plan to go so many times
04:12across the
04:13field and sigur did the right thing to put it in the box because it's a very difficult situation for
04:19him
04:19diaz down the line and sofian rahimi will chase and diffuser all with a challenge and that will be a
04:25yellow
04:25for luke diffuser all
04:32yeah i can have no complaints nice feet from rahimi
04:39diffuser all come sliding in doesn't get anywhere near the football
04:45no doubt a free kick in a yellow card more direct from morocco to get it down the side
04:51playing forward a little bit quicker catching canada out of position to touch
05:00so hakimi stands over this free kick in the opening five minutes of the second half
05:10halal and diop both forward from the back
05:14and hakimi plays it to the edge of the box it's just driven in it's one now for morocco
05:21unahi with a goal
05:30hit by a huge blow inside the opening five minutes of the second half
05:37unahi fires home from distance packs max surpassed maxine cripple
05:42now he's been barocco's best player unahi and it's a free kick off the training ground
05:49looks like hakimi's going to whip this into the six yard box but he just cuts one back to unahi
05:55and he he hits it with pace with canada on their heels and unahi just sweeps a lovely right foot
06:03strike into the bottom corner that's magnificent beyond all the bodies nobody can get a touch on it
06:10there's david trying to intercept that but he's tucked in a little bit far and
06:14the dummy from rahimi through the legs just allows it to run
06:19knows that his teammate unahi struck that really well cripple through the bodies can't get down to
06:25it it's in the net before he's there and what an unfortunate start to the second half for canada
06:32morocco have certainly come out the blocks a little bit sharper but that goal comes
06:39opposite the runner playing canada now have an uphill task to climb
06:46unahi's 10th international goal the man who plays in spain with girona last scored in a friendly
06:53win against mozambique in november
06:57it's his second world cup it's his first world cup goal in his 12th career world cup appearance
07:07and canada must now fight back as they did in the opening game of this tournament against
07:13bosnia and herzegovina in toronto when they went a goal down came back to tie that game
07:24they went behind by two goals against switzerland in the final group game only to
07:29finish with a flourish there and had that promised david goal that made it 2-1 they
07:33had chances after that as well can they keep playing their game here
07:40the future of now johnston tajon buchanan inside here for jonathan david who drives forward he's done
07:48really well here jonathan david
07:52in the end couldn't quite get through larrea's header brahim diaz tries to turn ustakio looking to get a foot
08:00in and
08:00down the right side comes ashraf hakimi and morocco racing forward here it's hakimi ali ahmed trying to get back
08:09and ali ahmed sliding in on hakimi and the referee allows play to continue to keep me up to the
08:13free
08:14great kick brilliant from ahmed great tracking back
08:21and larrea just runs it out of play i think the pace of the game has just went up about
08:25100 miles an hour
08:27completely changed after that goal
08:32canada responding to moroccos first goal when i hate
08:37he came there once a foul he drove that all the way down the right hand side about 70 yards
08:42and ali ahmed
08:43stop the thumb every step of the way
08:48morocco scoring with just their second shot of the match both shots they've had have been on target
08:57and free kick here is offside
09:06the goal coming from the free kick given away
09:09high defusion roll yeah it's too easy for them to get down that side defusion wrongs we know we've said
09:15that many times he he commits to everything commits to that one gets it wrong for sure
09:21rockhall playing with a new sense of freedom you can see freedom and pace look they've just went up a
09:27few
09:27watchies with a football canada have to match them no other choice find that extra gear
09:40deal
09:41i keep me down the right his 15th world cup appearance that's the new record for an african player
09:47the game is third world cup as he goes across the back there played out by ainawi the roma man
09:53mazraoui goes backwards towards halal pressure coming from jonathan david as bono keeps it moving
10:01isa diop's ball away brahim diaz tries to help it on it's one back here by richie lorraine
10:06down the left side for tani olowashay olowashay pulls it back good from boladi knows exactly where
10:13that ball's going picks up that position in the penalty sport now the counter-attack brahim diaz is
10:18away here slides it through for rahimi rahimi's ball in off moise bombito and out of play
10:25for a corner for morocca end to end stuff the game's getting really stretched now
10:31it's a bit of a danger zone for canada cannot afford to lose second goal here in this match
10:37can't see them coming back from two down against this team
10:42they're gonna match the intensity though there's no point in dropping the pace of this game
10:47they also can be very effective in a stretch match that can go end to end
10:54now morocco taking their time as hakimi comes across and they get set inside the penalty area
11:02bit of a pushing match going on in there and now he involved as it's into the front post goes
11:08off ali
11:08ahmed comes back out here towards hakimi hakimi's first time ball in looping to the back post halal is
11:14there and buchanan chasing across but that's gone out of play here for a canada goal kick
11:2010 minutes gone in the second half 1-0 the goal azadin unahi with the goal
11:28went to double figures now for his country and much for jesse marsh to ponder after the way that
11:33first half went yep to be hit so quickly after halftime it was a similar situation
11:38against switzerland with conceding after the break two goals given up quickly by switzerland
11:43against switzerland in that game at bc place in the final group game
11:48morocco catching canada out there right at the start of the half
11:51so stachio goes back now for defusion
11:58out for a throw as jesse marsh looks for a response from his players
12:05france against paraguay coming up later today for the right to play the winner of this one
12:10at boston stadium later in the week lorrea mr futherol
12:18on pito down the right finds tejon buchanan can he have a run here at madrawi goes back inside but
12:23given away
12:26on pito first to it and some of those stray passes that weren't there in the first off from canada
12:31it's
12:32because of the intensity that morocco have asked them to play it now it's just went up the pace of
12:36the
12:36games went up so canada looked a little bit sloppy last little bit i've got to just tighten things up
12:42a
12:42touch and match morocco for sure there's no other choice fujols had a forward sigur hooks it
12:50and halal will get there we're three minutes short of the hour mark
12:56does jesse marsh need to go to his bench to change anything here no not yet i don't think so
13:02i'll keep you racing forward lorrea is fouled by ashraf hakimi
13:21good ball ali ahmed chasing here against ahoud buwadi for a canada corner on the left excellent pass
13:28from lorrea in behind testing buwadi he's been good at the start of second half buwadi getting on the
13:35ball the young little man ex-teammate of jonathan david but that time being asked to run back against ali
13:42ahmed didn't quite have the pace and fearless them stopped to cross but chance for canada from this
13:49corner corner number seven on the day for canada two minutes short of the hour mark in houston
14:02eustachio's delivery in towards the back post diffusional heads it back he goes up
14:07masraoui put away there by halal out for a canada throw on the far side
14:11and alistair johnston will go across i would guess to take a long one here
14:22alistair johnston's 63rd cap
14:30and every minute of all seven world cup games for canada across the last two tournaments up until
14:37this game this game this is johnston's ball in madrawi heads away eustachio back out wide
14:41to johnston on the far side eustachio
14:46so good chasing
14:49puts the pressure on el canoos as it's glid away
14:53eustachio johnston bombito another throw for canada on the far side
14:59this time sigur takes it quickly and goes short back towards moise bombito
15:04that's the other question about fitness moise bombito how long will he be able to go today
15:09yeah i think you gotta push him as far as possible johnston's header goes on into the path of buchanan
15:15who goes down nothing given by michael oliver the flag is up for offside
15:20look outside half a yard was they
15:24not seeing these decisions given are we in the box any kind of contact has to be
15:31pretty severe for the referee to give them he kind of just goes over too easily but offside anyway
15:37masraoui's got a problem in the far side you'll see here it's tighter than i thought but i'd say just
15:44maybe quarter yard half a yard offside
15:49seems as though there is movement on the morocco bench it might be amrabat not too sure
15:58nothing yet from jesse marsh
16:02you've got laran and you've got david shaffelburn
16:07there's a few going through some strides joe waterman's there as well
16:14sounds like kyle laran's just been given the nod to
16:17come into this game so that'll be coming imminently double change coming for morocco
16:24shemstein talby the 21 year old from sundland will be coming in
16:30came in and scored his penalty in the shoe tower to get to the netherlands
16:33it's done david he said the up goal
16:38david could have took that in the half turn he's been a little sloppy in possession last
16:42little bit jonathan david
16:43gonna be more careful key man for canada as we know
16:53and sofjan amrabat will also be coming in
17:00it provides some steel in the midfield for sure
17:04segura
17:10diffuser all across the back finds bombito
17:30picked up here by tani olowashay
17:33olowashay still battling but the referee michael oliver gives the free kick away of
17:37who had it always shay not happy with the decision coming there from michael oliver
17:49alkanus makes way
17:53and buhadi is also leaving the game
18:01number back gives you that steel in the middle of park that experience ready
18:08in a good second half 15 minutes or so but
18:12as we said with that one down the left hand side well ahmed looked a little bit tired
18:18it's all over she from karlara's straight swap
18:24so tani olowashay's day done just after the hour mark and kyle laran comes on
18:38around with goals against bosnia and qatar in the first two games of this tournament
18:44a 94th appearance for his country trouble at the other end here as rahimi tries to get in bombito
18:49gets back with a challenge out it goes towards talbi and he was unable to make an impact on his
18:55first
18:55touch of the game he might have been offside but no flag
19:03talbi straight swap on that left side for alkanus
19:07that's it back there from lunahi the score of the goal
19:12as rowe's ball into the box to fuchsia all defends it well played away they're only as far as hakeimi
19:17up to the right now for brahim diaz
19:21a pretty quiet day for the real madrid man so far brahim diaz who missed that penalty
19:26right at the end of the afcon final chipping it straight into the arms of the keeper
19:37and now it's played forward down the right for brahim diaz to race on to luke de fujero back there
19:43defending brahim diaz ball across the edge of the box played away by segura towards halfway
19:48did you play the parcel buchanan was in a good position canada have a numbers advantage here ali
19:56armado penalized for the foul on amrabat amrabat a veteran presence there coming into the midfield this
20:03is number 77 for him the caps for his country the fenabachi midfielder nice from diaz little not make
20:11trying to get the gevin goal
20:20he said diop now hakimi down the right
20:26i'll go all the way back to yassin bono who was called into action a couple of times in the
20:32early
20:32part of the first half but not a lot since bono who's in the team of the tournament at the
20:39club
20:39world cup last year his al-halal team had a great run there including beating manchester city in the
20:44round of 16. he's looking for a fifth world cup clean sheet in 11 starts jassin bono
20:54deep through the middle is that a foul no the referee says that's okay from moist bombito and the
20:58challenge with rahimi looked a foul didn't it really did look that bombito was pulling on rahimi who's
21:05came alive last little bit some good movement won the free kick for nahi's goal
21:18picked up here by ali ahmed
21:24ahmed back in the side today for miller wasn't quite a hundred percent last week which is why he didn't
21:29play in l.a forward towards lorrea at the byline and he's won the corner he's appearing for a hand
21:35ball off amber back but the flag is up for offside yeah
21:40the time in there between ali ahmed rich lorrea just a little bit off
21:47lorrea's going to make that inside run and ali ahmed has played quicker as we see the goal again
21:52jonathan david just got a little bit out of position trying to cover another zone
21:57and hakimi's pass was perfect but now he's finished even better
22:07seven times previously in the world cup canada have conceded the first goal they have not won
22:12six defeats and one draw the draw coming of course in the opening game of this tournament down by the
22:18lakeshore when kyle laran scored that dramatic goal at the south end of the stadium to make it
22:23warm warm against bosnia feels like a lifetime ago right yeah it really does
22:30bono under pressure there from tajon buchanan
22:34jonathan david now nico sigo laran chested off it's jonathan david through
22:38ostacchio couldn't get there hakimi recovering laran's in and bono gets cluttered by laran
22:44and laran with a yellow card it's good to go for a lot and it really has i don't know
22:49how much contact
22:50he gets on bono akimi very lucky boy it's just enough on that pass back that bono can get there
23:00first
23:01doesn't really see laran coming through i mean he doesn't catch him much does he barely catches him he's
23:09gonna go for it he actually sort of pulls out of it when he knows that he's not quite getting
23:14there
23:14he turns his back as you see i don't think that's a yellow card i think michael oliver's refereed this
23:21game rather poorly so far right at the midway mark in the second half it is the hydration break here
23:28with canada trailing morocco by a goal to nil unahi scored it five minutes after halftime
23:41if i eat poulet rouge every day and change like one topping each time how long would it take to
23:48taste
23:48everything centuries
23:56here it goes one two three take the pitch with fandu's new footy features bet all 120 minutes and
24:04get early payouts when your team goes up too live betting lets you celebrate every strike
24:10and with fandu's new super sub if your player is subbed out your bet stays in
24:17the game at fandu every score means more north america's number one sportsbook and casino
24:23fandu play your game we've removed the full hst on new homes and cut municipal fees saving you up
24:32to two hundred thousand dollars on a new home it's just one way we're taking action today to make homes

24:43municipalities to build more homes because by making housing more affordable today we can get more
24:50families in more homes tomorrow
24:57we are deep into stoppage time oh they must be careful here
25:02we are deep into stoppage time oh no but hang on they are checking it it's going to be in
25:07the hands of the v.a.r this is a
25:16the goal has been repaired they have felt everything it is possible to feel
25:28if i eat poulet rouge every day and change like one topping each time how long would it take to
25:34taste
25:35everything centuries
25:48well jesse marsh needs his canada side to dig deep here in the final quarter of this game trailing one
25:56nil a valiant effort to this point have they got what it takes to find a way back into this
26:02game
26:03against a morocco side that in the live fifa men's world rankings are currently sixth in the world
26:09they're going to take their chance luke they're going to get a chance at least one that comes away and
26:14they have to take it has to fall to the right person they're going to be positive at that moment
26:18but
26:18it's been a tougher second half morocco up to tempo the pace of the game is higher it's been harder
26:23for canada to handle but they're stalling it and there's still chances here for them
26:32no other changes yet made by jesse marsh who brought kyle laran on for tani olowashay
26:40with the first impact off the bench of this game for canada
26:49morocco lost ismael saibari early to injury sofian rahimi came in
26:57and we've since seen a couple of changes made by mohammed uwabi as he looks to try and impact this
27:03game
27:05with amra back coming in talbi as well on the left side jesse marsh just
27:10just coming talking about paul staltari and maro bielo amongst other staff on the near side about
27:15changes to be made here yeah i think there's going to be a way to get promised david on the
27:20field
27:21does it mean taking off jonathan david it would be a big call i don't know if i would make
27:25that
27:26is there a way of trying to get him on maybe someone goes a bit of wider area you adjust
27:33the formation
27:34and also i think schaffelburg will be on for ali ahmed sometime soon
27:42and we're back out wide to the left talbi up against alistair johnston johnston
27:48doing his job well pushing morocco back and they'll go all the way back towards bono
27:58started all seven games at the african cup of nations and won the golden glove he only conceded twice
28:03yassine bono
28:12foot in from diffusional
28:16jesse marsh with some words for the fourth official here on the near side although
28:20brought this one back for the throw hakimi's ball is played forward by ainawi
28:25he'll drop out of play here for a canada throw went out of play and then back in according to
28:31the
28:31assistant on the near side we're inside the final 20 minutes in houston what what an odd period of
28:36play that one never went in weird weird little passage was there in front of us
28:42larin chested off for david brought down by amrabat
28:46he will just sit there and be a nuisance and break things up won't he yeah he will he will
28:51he'll make
28:51the game ugly but he's still got the quality to to keep the ball for his team
28:58yeah it's a tough one see what bumpeter's trying but as you alluded to earlier look the passes in the
29:04second half just been a little bit sloppier from canada it's just that higher tempo it's fatigue that's
29:10setting in decision making gets a little bit harder the quality has shown a little bit in morocco's
29:19favor in the second half we're still in the game we called a massive game a couple of summers ago
29:25in
29:25new jersey copa america semi-final between argentina and canada never really felt any point in that game
29:32that canada were in it they could actually get something but it doesn't feel the same here this
29:37afternoon of houston of course they played argentina twice in this tournament and jesse
29:42marsh started his reign as the head coach with games against the netherlands and france they
29:47lost 4-0 against the netherlands they managed to tie france they have played big teams before under
29:53jesse marsh he said the big difference is that we are us now we're what i wanted this team to
29:58be as
29:58opposed to that first six weeks which was an incredible run through copper america but he hadn't
30:03had a lot of time to get the team to where it wanted to be we saw during that run
30:08that yes they
30:09were showing some of the tendencies of how he wanted to play he said we are what this team should
30:14be now
30:14we're just a banged up version of it yeah jonathan david
30:21and you think not only about ismail kone but marcelo flores as well the fact alfonso davies hasn't been able
30:27to play much part at all in this tournament oh very important players bombito not at 100 percent they're
30:33really well this afternoon but not his full self yet nonetheless they're still here this game's still in
30:41the balance
30:43on pito white to the right for tejon buchanan
30:48out it goes off talbi
31:05before that crazy final against senegal morocco had beaten nigeria on penalties in the semi-final of the afcon
31:17this one launched in long to the front post back out it goes towards alistair johnston who's closed
31:22down by talbi sagu with the ball high in kyle larron trying to get there but bono punches away
31:27ustakio on the edge of the area brought down by jonathan david here's ali ahmed lifting it in
31:32the upper way johnston
31:36ustakio lovely touch it's ustakio pull down
31:40outside free kick right on the edge of the area
31:44lovely play from ustakio
31:47so good his touch was excellent gets the other side of amber back just he's going to pull the trigger
31:54substitute makes a foul pulls him back it is outside where the infringement occurs his body kind of
32:01falls in but don't think they've got there you see that little pull of the hip
32:09outside it's in a dangerous area it's very close to the edge of the 18 yard box maybe
32:1619 yards out maybe not even that not easy to get this up and down think you have to go
32:23for power choose
32:24the side go for power and hit the target make bono force them into a save make them make that
32:31save
32:33it's a chance
32:38canada have scored after the 75th minute in all four matches so far at this world cup
32:49michael oliver moves the moroccan wall back
32:54voyagers right behind the goal but it seems like jonathan david's going to shoot out here i think
32:59he'll take this one i think he fancies it the juventus man this is this the moment
33:13low and hard three-man wall of canada johnson laran in diffusional in front of the moroccan wall
33:25jonathan david to take it david chips it over the bar it's really poor really really poor head in
33:32hands from jonathan david he knows that was an opportunity wasted and jacob schaffelberg set to
33:37come in here for ali ahmed and promised david is coming on as well yeah see who promised david comes
33:44on for is it buchanan or it's ritual area it is for schaffelberg will maybe play a little further
33:52back as schaffelberg play left back yeah getting forward and there'll be a little adjustment look
33:58more like a back three a lot of the times with johnson bombito and diffusion all in there schaffelberg
34:03will be given the license at the left hand side and david will will drift in central but i think
34:10might
34:10play off the left as well defensively promise david already making an impact off the bench in this
34:23tournament coming on and scoring with his first touch buchanan from distance strikes and bono has to get
34:30down and turn it around for a canada corner great strike
34:37oh and hard and skipping in front of bono there's a position that he picked up he came off the
34:42right
34:42for the first time really into central zone his touch was lovely and as he turned nobody really came to
34:48him he takes the shot on he did have an optional alarm to the right but he hits the target
34:53and
34:54another corner for canada
35:01eustachio will take it once more here into the front post
35:11so promise david on his first world cup on for his fourth substitute appearance
35:16and he got ahead to that one but a free kick is given for the shove by promise david who
35:20had an assist on kyle lauren's goal against bosnia and scored himself
35:28against switzerland
35:31perhaps his first goal for canada since scoring against venezuela last november promise david turning 25
35:36yesterday
35:39this is a buchanan one again from the referee's vantage point
35:43and you'd be surprised if it beats bono but not a bad strike down to his right and can't keep
35:51a hold of it
35:59well we're inside the final 10 minutes of a world cup round of 16 game and canada are still in
36:05this match
36:05jesse marsh's side toe to toe with a team that consistently plays in the latter stages of big
36:14tournaments and is ranked consistently inside the top 10 but there is no alphonso davies yet
36:23not even been warming up it has to be said
36:28highly unlikely that he he comes into this game
36:35eustachio on the free kick rolls it forward towards jonathan david
36:43eustachio's cross to frizzerold couldn't get there cleared away but schaffelberg is back there so is nico
36:48seguro he'll go all the way back towards maxime crepeau who was beaten by unahi five minutes after
36:56half time hakimi with the assist his first international assist in a world cup came against canada in qatar
37:06and now here comes talbi racing over halfway he's got brahim diaz in it's the real madrid man
37:13brahim diaz turning the diffusional got back well but it's two
37:24job done for morocco
37:28unahi with his second of the game canada's world cup dream will come to an end in houston
37:37they have gone toe to toe with the giants of the global game
37:43but ultimately it looks like they will fall just short
37:56it's bitterly disappointing from canada's point of view the fusion all driving forward the right
38:03makes a rather obvious pass
38:07trying to find alistair johnson then the breaks on from morocco and asnaku has to make the foul
38:12he just simply has to he doesn't and it opens up this right hand side and when you get diaz
38:17in this
38:18kind of space he's going to have the trickery and the skill to pick out the right pass or the
38:23finish this
38:24time he just drinks back inside little lay there deflection of shuffleboard unahi the game's best player
38:32absolutely dispatches it into the top corner crap all with no chance
38:39the ruthlessness of one of the world's top 10 sides there to be seen in houston today
38:46and unahi has a double in canada's chances
38:53of going away and they're probably going home from this fifa 2026 world cup
39:00unahi's third international brace
39:04and it would take something more than a miracle at this point
39:13seven minutes remaining unahi in the 50th and the 82nd
39:21eustachio looks long
39:27johnston eustachio now it's jonathan david from distance that takes a deflection and they'll clear
39:31it away long downfields unahi on a hat trick couldn't bring that one under control out it
39:36goes for schaffelberg down the left side schaffelberg's ball in straight to bono can't afford to take a
39:41touch there he's gonna whip it first time
39:45a little chance though to just flash that across the front david was in the box laran was a little
39:51bit further behind two goals from three attempts in this match for morocco it's a difference isn't it
39:59clinical absolutely clinical we knew that as well as canada were playing in that first half they had to
40:05score well she had the the biggest chance good save from bono but it's going to be in the back
40:12of
40:12the net this is the details at the highest level johnston's crossing to the middle and bono can claim
40:18and he gets it going quickly up towards halfway rahimi racing forward
40:26unahi down the right looks for rahimi in the middle the header off the bar
40:32moran noran it comes the other side of the line let off for canada game so stretched has to be
40:38like
40:38this though canada have to go for bust
40:44when are he with his first double for morocco since november of 2024
40:50he scored with both of his shots today it's out for another canada corner here five minutes to play
41:02quickly clear shot
41:07mcannons ball in doesn't beat the first man it's a poor ball
41:11shaffelberg almost getting caught out by brahim diaz but now this is
41:15cigar
41:18jonathan david a little bit of space down the line it goes for shaffelberg shaffelberg's
41:22crossing clear away that'll be better from shaffelberg
41:28you cannon shaffelberg once again and they don't beat the first man
41:32cigar masraoui heads clear
41:42david inside for istakio
41:51canada is still going towards the voyagers
41:54banked away behind the goal headed away by isa diop
42:00and that looked like a foul by amrabat it is
42:08and here comes a double change jonathan osorio and jayden nelson will be coming in
42:13for the closing moments of this game jayden nelson of course a late addition to the world cup squad
42:20he'd been told he wasn't going to make it and yet in the final moments here nelson will come on
42:27for his world cup debut and he'll do so alongside another player from brampton ontario jonathan
42:37osorio who comes on for his 92nd appearance for canada his second of this world cup
42:42two brampton boys into the world cup for the final few minutes
42:52morocco also making a change
42:56that came on to morocco istakio's ball in bono punches clear drops back towards jayden nelson bono is down
43:06and some treatment coming here maybe
43:25that's a collision
43:27between bono and promise david
43:31good goalkeeping though from moroccan goalkeeper both guys slow down hopefully they're okay
43:37promise david looks like he's came off once
43:59alfonso davies only used once in this tournament it was always going to be a long shot that he would
44:05be
44:05available they got him in against south africa and for a short while he changed things a little
44:12bit made a difference put south africa on the back foot and ultimately with davies on the pitch they got
44:17the goal that will be the defining moment from this tournament yeah stephanu stakio's strike
44:25a landmark moment in canadian sports history not just canadian soccer history but as we head into the
44:33final 90 seconds here yeah canada falling just short but what a ride it's been what a ride
44:40uh it's just disappointing to see davy's sitting there he did have an impact on that game but his match
44:45fitness
44:46was nowhere near the levels needed it's a shame he can't get out there tonight but
44:53ultimately what a ride that's been canada
44:56they've done so well fighting for first place in the group in that last game at bc place against a
45:03top side like switzerland taking them really close almost getting the point that they've kept them in
45:09vancouver and then having to go on the road and what is a home world cup very difficult
45:15that amazing moment of ostacios last minute goal against south africa to set up this game against
45:21sixth place team of the world and to dominate them for a half lots of great positives
45:29chaffelberg's ball high in towards the back post drops back for osorio who has a strike
45:38brahin diaz with the assist on the second goal just the second african player with
45:42three assists in a single world cup campaign
45:45rocco know they've been in a game tonight luke
45:56eustachio now jaden nelson on the far side rahimi away
46:07and all the way back from royce bombito towards maxim crepo
46:11it's the first time morocco have scored more than once in a world cup knockout match
46:17johnston now nelson
46:23jaden nelson's ball into the box drops towards kyle larron but a free kick given here maybe handball
46:28yes we're into eight minutes of time to be added on at the end of this game
46:34i worked on boys bombito it's absolutely incredible how he's where they go the 90 from here he was
46:40from where he was physically in that warm-up match in edmonton against uzbekistan
46:47absolutely incredible he's done well
46:51apparently quite a foot wrong considering the lack of match fitness that he has
47:00puttin from osorio rahimi down the right side
47:10and just out of play or kept in in fact and now the assistant referee steps in to give this
47:15canada's way
47:25maxim crepo will send it long
47:35johnston heads back forward
47:51and now he gets back it'll be clipped down the right side there by hakimi
47:56and we're about forward the future all wins it back and the stakio can't quite get there as it's out
48:01of play by
48:02i know it
48:05the first you're all with a throw
48:09here's jaden nelson
48:12johnston under pressure but bombito finds nelson and this is luke diffuser all down the left side
48:16six minutes of stoppage time left to be played as shaffelberg plays this one back
48:20comes for the fujero now it's jaden nelson
48:24nelson into the box he's still going jaden nelson up against hakimi
48:28and out of play it goes for a canada corner great run great run and amazing to see canada not
48:33giving up here
48:35they still believe there's an opportunity to take this game to extra time and propose up from the back he's
48:41in the box
48:44the stakio short for shaffelberg shaffelberg plays it in bono punches away
48:50canada without a keeper right now and a free kick given
48:53the way of morocco too close to the goalkeeper though from shaffelberg he's gonna
48:59aim that one out a bit you have to see bono loves to come for things and usually gets it
49:05right
49:06good punch clear foul from cripple probably a good decision to fall there so he can get back
49:13canada with 79 possession over the last 15 minutes
49:20when our heat just the third african player to score a brace in a knockout match at the world cup
49:27camera with senegal in 2002 and roger miller with cameroon against colombia in 1990
49:33osorio finds johnston jayden nelson down the right up against talby the substitute
49:41masraoui away
49:46it'll come back towards maxime cropo who under pressure puts it out of play talby was racing
49:51forward yeah good from talby to be fair a substitute just keep the pressure high
49:57the poll just had to clip that long back into where the bodies were
50:02no rush from rocco now to take this throwing they've been in the game look they'll know it
50:08they'll know it absolutely the second best team in the first half
50:13canada couldn't get their goal they came out they responded like top teams do in the second
50:19and the throws went over there took too long to take it but that's the difference at this level
50:23isn't it there really is
50:28and it comes towards jonathan david three and a half minutes of stoppage time remaining as schaffelberg
50:33picks it up here
50:36can they find a goal back late here as they
50:40everyone up again get corner number 11 here i love the fight though he's keeping going here there's
50:47a match winner unahi what a performance from him schaffelberg's ball into the box
50:52for a poet come forward once again
50:59johnston
51:02diffuser all now osorio
51:08talby down the left side clears away only as far as jaden nelson
51:13nelson across for schaffelberg
51:17schaffelberg steps inside he's got the free kick here
51:23we'll just have to take this one quick canada it's no point to set it up
51:27shot the goal just get it back and play
51:32it'll be too long it's just going to be a consolation if they wait here
51:48a little over two minutes of stoppage time remaining here in houston
51:52nelson and eustachio stand over it eustachio off towards jaden nelson it takes the deflection and
51:58comes back to shuffleberg across the box here's alistair johnston johnston towards goal it's wide
52:04and the moroccan players just collapsed to the ground some of them
52:11they have been put through a fight they have faced a battle today
52:33morocco getting set to move on to a world cup quarter-final against france or paraguay
52:39that game still to come rahimi is the player down
52:49chaffelberg not even looking at the ball could be a bit cuter than that to get away with it
52:56it'll just be a third defeat in 22 games for canada
53:08that's rowey
53:27diffusional underneath this one drops on halfway and now brahim diaz with a chance to get out of the
53:31carry it forward it's brahim diaz into the path of rahimi morocco can finish it here
53:40the goal with almost the last touch of the game cue the celebrations from the morocco fans as they
53:47will move on to the quarter-final a scoreline that is harsh on canada
53:53who's world cup ends in the round of 16
54:17and the substitute rahimi gets his goal onto the field for
54:23saibari who had to leave through injury in fairness he's done pretty well he's running ability to
54:31to stretch canada has been effective he won the free kick that led to
54:36now he's first goal and he gets his goal now canada throwing players forward there's
54:42caution to the wind in terms of trying to somehow get a consolation or a goal to get back at
54:48this game
54:48and when you leave space and time for players like brahim diaz to pick out passes
54:54he's going to make the right choice rahimi slots it past capo and it's incredibly harsh from canada they do
55:00not deserve
55:01this scoreline but ultimately
55:05their bags are being packed and they're leaving this world cup morocco are advancing
55:10to the quarterfinals to face either france or paraguay
55:18canada's world cup journey comes to an end
55:22brave bold fighting to the end against a giant of the global game
55:31over the course of the last few weeks this is a team that has captured the attention of a nation
55:36they have changed the game in the country forever ultimately they fall short in the round of 16
55:45at the world cup such an honest and likable team and the disappointments there to see
55:52young luke de fujero a hero and a star of this tournament
55:57into a man they just played as a unit full of pride
