Events

Match Events

  • 0' Here we go! The referee blows the whistle and Canada launch into their encounter with Morocco.
  • 4' Hakim Ziyech has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 4 minutes.
  • 7' The referee shows Canada player a Yellow card on 7.
  • 12' Morocco 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.
  • 17' The 35-year-old Yahya Jabrane has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 22' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 23' Youssef En-Nesyri doubles the advantage! 0-2 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
  • 26' Poor challenge from Jonathan Osorio. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
  • 27' The referee has no hesitation. Jonathan Osorio is booked for Canada — Yellow card on 27.
  • 32' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 37' Jawad El Yamiq has been relatively quiet despite scoring 1 goals in his last 426 appearances.
  • 40' A stunning finish from Nayef Aguerd — that came from absolutely nowhere!
  • 41' What composure from Nayef Aguerd! The Morocco international strokes it home. 1-3.
  • 45' The referee calls foul for Sam Adekugbe. He receives a Yellow card.
  • 48' Against the run of play, Youssef En-Nesyri has scored! This game has turned on its head.
  • 53' It looks surprising Canada does not make any changes. Azzedine Ounahi has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 58' Canada currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 60' Another substitution for Canada to replace Mark-Anthony Kaye by Atiba Hutchinson on 60 minute.
  • 61' Jonathan David is replacing Cyle Larin for the Canada side.
  • 65' A tactical swap from Morocco — Zakaria Aboukhlal on, Sofiane Boufal off on 65 minutes.
  • 70' The home supporters are growing impatient. Canada must find a spark to ignite this game.
  • 75' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Canada side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • 76' Canada make a change. Junior Hoilett trudges off to be replaced by David Wotherspoon on 76 minutes.
  • 81' Morocco is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 84' Steven Vitoria has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 84.
  • 85' A tactical swap from Morocco — Yahya Jabrane on, Achraf Hakimi off on 85 minutes.
  • 90' 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.
  • The points are shared — Canada 1-2 Morocco. Honours even.
