Canada vs Morocco LIVE FIFA World Cup – Round of 16; CAN 0-0 MAR; Canada dominates, but scores evenly at halftime

Not many people expected Canada to give such a dominant performance against mighty Morocco. There has been relentless pressure from North America since kick-off, and the only reason the score is level is Yassine Bounou’s save.

That Morocco has had only one touch in Canada’s penalty area, compared to Canada’s thirteen, speaks to how lopsided the match has been in the first half. Morocco was not helped by Saibari leaving injured, but the country would still expect better of themselves in terms of attacking output.

But Canada would be aware of the challenge now ahead, which is to keep this intensity intact throughout the second period.
