You're locked in to Sports Desk, let's get into it.
Morocco are through to the quarterfinals of the two thousand twenty six World Cup after dismantling co-hosts Canada three-nil in a dominant second-half performance. Azzedine Ounahi delivered a stunning brace, Soufiane Rahimi added a third late on, and Canada become the first host nation to exit the tournament. Morocco are now just one win away from matching their historic semifinal run from twenty twenty two.
Canada's elimination closes the book on a genuinely historic chapter for Jesse Marsch's side, who made their first ever World Cup appearance as co-hosts and reached the Round of Sixteen. The result stings, but the program has taken a real step forward, and this tournament gave a generation of Canadian players a stage they've never had before.
Shifting to what's coming, Spain and Portugal are set to collide in the Round of Sixteen on Monday in Dallas, and Spanish goalkeeper Unai Simón is already making noise. Simón, who enters the match with an unbeaten streak of five hundred nineteen minutes, said Cristiano Ronaldo is simply not the same player he was six or seven years ago. Bold words before a massive fixture.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
