What comes next?
Canada will look to regroup and prepare for their next match.
The team's unbeaten streak in their last 5 matches had given them hope for a deep run in the World Cup. But Morocco's strong performance ended those hopes. Ounahi made it 2-0 on a right-footed shot from the middle of the box off a pass from Brahim Díaz in the 82nd minute. And Morocco added a third goal to seal the win. So Canada will have to wait until their next match to try and get back on track. But for now, they will have to settle for a loss to Morocco. Canada's recent form had been strong, but it was not enough to overcome Morocco's strong performance.
