The celebrations began immediately after the final whistle as players and members of the support staff gathered around Player of the Match Azzedine Ounahi, lifting the midfielder onto their shoulders after his match-winning brace

The celebrations followed an impressive second-half display that saw Morocco become the first team to book a place in the FIFA World Cup 2026 quarter-finals while extending their unbeaten run to 10 matches.

Morocco broke the deadlock five minutes after the restart through Ounahi. Achraf Hakimi's clever free-kick found the unmarked midfielder, who calmly slotted home to put the African side ahead.

Morocco struck again on the counterattack as Brahim Diaz raced down the right before cutting the ball back for Ounahi, who rifled his second goal into the roof of the net to put the outcome beyond doubt

Soufiane Rahimi added Morocco's third goal with virtually the final kick of the match to cap an outstanding second-half performance from Mohamed Ouahbi's side
