HOUSTON — Canada is out of the FIFA World Cup after falling 3-0 to Morocco in the round of 16 on Saturday.
Azzedine Ounahi broke a 0-0 deadlock in the 50th minute, then added a second goal in the 82nd for a brace. Soufiane Rahimi sent a rolling shot in the eighth minute of stoppage time to seal the score.
Canada controlled the game early and registered four chances in the first half, but couldn’t get a shot past Morocco’s Montreal-born keeper Yassine Bounou.
The Moroccans will meet the winner of a round-of-16 tilt between Paraguay and France in a quarterfinal matchup in Boston on July 9.
