Events

Match Events

  • 0' The stage is set the green flag drops! Another match against Canada and Morocco has kicked off!
  • 4' Hakim Ziyech puts Morocco on the lead.
  • 7' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Junior Hoilett.
  • 12' It looks like no one’s ball. Canada is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 17' Canada seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
  • 22' It looks surprising Canada does not make any changes. Nayef Aguerd has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 23' GOAL! Youssef En-Nesyri scores on 23.
  • 26' The referee calls foul for Jonathan Osorio. He receives a Yellow card.
  • 27' Canada receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 27.
  • 32' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Sofiane Boufal suffering a number of foals already.
  • 37' Canada is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 40' GOAL! Nayef Aguerd scores on 40.
  • 41' Goal! Nayef Aguerd scores his 19 goal in 312 matches.
  • 45' Canada receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 45.
  • 48' GOAL! Youssef En-Nesyri scores on 45.
  • 53' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Morocco needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 58' Morocco is showing some good football. However, Morocco are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 60' It is a substitution in Canada team. Mark-Anthony Kaye is replaced by Atiba Hutchinson on 60 minute.
  • 61' Another change for Canada made on 61 minute. Cyle Larin leaves to be changed by Jonathan David.
  • 65' Zakaria Aboukhlal has so much to prove this time. He replaces Sofiane Boufal on 65 minute.
  • 70' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Morocco that had 12 games and scored 13 goals.
  • 75' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
  • 76' It is a substitution in Canada team. Junior Hoilett is replaced by David Wotherspoon on 76 minute.
  • 81' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 84' The referee calls foul for Steven Vitoria. He receives a Yellow card.
  • 85' The Morocco manager makes a substitution. Achraf Hakimi departs to be replaced by Yahya Jabrane.
  • 90' Supporters expect more eagerness from Cyle Larin, as he is very good at scoring at Al Thumama Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • With this win, Morocco is likely to improve its situation in the overall team standings.
