• •Azzedine Ounahi and Rahimi scored to secure Morocco's victory and eliminate Canada from the tournament
• •Coach Mohamed Ouahbi led the team to the quarter-finals following his February appointment
• •It remains uncertain how the team's tactical transition under Ouahbi will hold up against higher-ranked opponents in the next round

Morocco secured a spot in the FIFA World Cup quarter-finals after a win over Canada led by goals from Azzedine Ounahi and Rahimi. According to The Guardian, the victory marks a critical turning point for coach Mohamed Ouahbi, who took over in February following the departure of the country's most successful manager, Walid Regragui. While the squad displayed clinical finishing, the abrupt mid-season coaching change leaves questions about the long-term stability of their tactical identity. The team's ability to maintain this momentum will determine their path as they face increasingly difficult matches in the tournament's final stages.
