Morocco feeds off comeback win
Morocco looked all but eliminated in the Round of 32 against the Netherlands before tying the game 1-1 in stoppage time and winning in penalties. That marked Morocco’s third straight win. Morocco is 4-1-0 through four World Cup matches with a +3 goal difference of 7-4.
Canada’s been on a shakier run at 2-1-1, scoring nine goals and conceding three. However, six of the nine goals came against a Qatar team that conceded 10 goals in the group stage. Canada also needed a late stoppage time goal to take down South Africa in the Round of 32. That was their first time winning a knockout stage game.
Morocco holds the advantage in key metrics, including possession, expected goal differential, and expected goals conceded.
The road ahead
A win for either would send them to the quarterfinals with a potential matchup against either Paraguay or France on July 9th. Beyond the quarterfinals, if either of them makes it past France, they’ll match up with Portugal, Croatia, Spain, Austria, USA, or Belgium in the semifinals.
