90′ + 5′ FULL-TIME: CANADA 1-2 MOROCCO
90′ + 4′ A heavy touch from Hamdallah just outside the area ends a promising Moroccan attack, in what is surely the final move of an absorbing game.
90′ + 2′ LUCKY ESCAPE! Borjan, up into the Morocco half from his position in goal, first sends a cross into the box, which is headed away. His subsequent miskick sets Morocco clear on the counter, but Davies’ exceptional pace covers his blushes and the ball is cleared.
90′ + 1′ In the first of four added minutes, David finds himself crowded out inside a packed Morocco area. Then, Davies earns a corner off En-Nesyri.
71′ OFF THE BAR! So close to a Canada equaliser! Johnston narrowly heads a rebound over and onto the top of Bounou’s net! What an escape for Morocco!
46‘ Second Half Begins
HALF TIME: CANADA 1 Vs 2 Morocco
40′CANADA STRIKE BACK! After Adekugbe advances on the left, the wing-back zips a dangerous low ball across the box, which Aguerd can only turn past a bemused Bounou at his near post! The goalkeeper got a glove on it, but was unable to stop the ball crossing the line! Having finally found their way into the match, Canada now have tangible reward – it’s back to 1-2!
23‘ Goal Youssef En-Nesyri
4′ MOROCCO LEAD! Taking advantage of a terrible mix-up in the Canada defence, Ziyech latches on to a loose ball on the edge of the area and deftly lofts the ball over Borjan, who is wildly out of position having just given possession away! What a gift for the Atlas Lions, who roar into an early lead: 1-0 to Morocco!
1′ Clad all in white, Morocco kick off, and we are under way!
