Events
Match Events
- 0' And we are off! Canada vs Morocco — let the football do the talking.
- 4' A stunning finish from Hakim Ziyech — that came from absolutely nowhere!
- 7' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Junior Hoilett.
- 12' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
- 17' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 22' It looks surprising Morocco does not make any changes. Alistair Johnston has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 23' Brilliant from the ! Youssef En-Nesyri makes it 0-2 with a superb finish on 23.
- 26' Jonathan Osorio catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 26.
- 27' Jonathan Osorio picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
- 32' Canada are deployed in a today, looking to exploit space against Morocco's shape.
- 37' Canada currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
- 40' Brilliant from the ! Nayef Aguerd makes it 1-2 with a superb finish on 40.
- 41' Magnificent from Nayef Aguerd! That is 19 goals in 312 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
- 45' Sam Adekugbe catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 45.
- 48' Youssef En-Nesyri doubles the advantage! 1-4 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
- 53' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Morocco that had 17 games and scored 22 goals.
- 58' Morocco international Zakaria Aboukhlal has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
- 60' The Canada bench stirs into life. Mark-Anthony Kaye is withdrawn and Atiba Hutchinson gets his opportunity.
- 61' Another substitution for Canada to replace Cyle Larin by Jonathan David on 61 minute.
- 65' Fresh legs for Morocco! Zakaria Aboukhlal comes on to replace Sofiane Boufal.
- 70' Both keepers have barely been tested. Canada and Morocco are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 75' Canada started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 75.
- 76' Junior Hoilett makes way for David Wotherspoon at the 76 minute mark. A tactical switch from Canada.
- 81' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. John Herdman will be considering his options from the bench.
- 84' Steven Vitoria was booked on 84.
- 85' Yahya Jabrane gets the nod from Morocco. He replaces Achraf Hakimi and will look to change the dynamic.
- 90' 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 Cyle Larin suffering a number of foals already.
- Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Morocco players.
