The Atlas Lions of Morocco have emerged as the second African team to qualify for the knockout rounds of the 2022 FIFA World Cup holding in Qatar after defeating Canada.
Morocco defeated the North American country 2-1 in a Group F matchday three encounter played at the Al Thumama Stadium in Doha.
Hakim Ziyech fired the North African nation ahead in the 4th minute with an outside of the box lob after the Canadian goalkeeper misplaced his pass.
The lead was extended to two when Sevilla star Youssef En-Nesyri shot home a right footed shot from within the box in the 23rd minute.
Canada pulled one back courtesy of an own goal from Morocco and West Ham United defender Nayef Aguerd in the 40th minute.
With the game ending 2-1 in favor of Morocco, they become the first African nation to win their group in the ongoing World Cup.
The Atlas Lions finished first with seven points from three games played, ahead of Croatia, Belgium and Canada in that order.
Ziyech's inspiring performance that earned him the Man of the Match award has made Nigerians football lovers applaud him.
