Little Fortune God's World Cup Morning Report -- No Upsets! Morocco and France Advance Together

In the Round of 16 of the 2026 USA-Canada-Mexico World Cup, France defeated Paraguay 1-0 to successfully advance to the quarterfinals. Meanwhile, Morocco made history by beating Canada 3-0.

Canada, which was not favored before the match, started the game aggressively, creating three shots within the first 10 minutes and earning consecutive corner kicks. In the 10th minute, Oluwasey's agile turn and shot inside the penalty area posed a threat, but Morocco goalkeeper Bounou blocked it with his foot. Before the halftime water break, Morocco, which was on the back foot, suffered another blow as their sharp striker Sebari, who had already scored three goals in this World Cup, was substituted due to injury in the 21st minute.

After the water break, Morocco gradually took control of possession but struggled to create genuine threats. In the 28th minute, substitute Rahimi's long-range shot from outside the box was easily saved by the Canadian goalkeeper, which was Morocco's only shot in the first half.

Entering the second half, Morocco finally broke the deadlock. In the 50th minute, captain Achraf played a low free kick from the right flank to Ounahi, who was lurking at the edge of the box, and the latter struck the ball into the bottom right corner of the net.

After conceding, Canada stepped up their attack. In the 78th minute, Jonathan David's free kick from the top of the box went over the crossbar. Then, Buchanan's powerful long-range shot from outside the box was brilliantly saved by Bounou.

In the 82nd minute, Morocco extended their lead through a counterattack. Diaz attracted defensive attention inside the box before passing across, and Ounahi pushed the ball into the net again. Three minutes later, Ounahi crossed from the flank, and Rahimi's header hit the crossbar and bounced out. In the eighth minute of stoppage time, Diaz delivered another exquisite pass during a counterattack, and Rahimi calmly slotted past the goalkeeper to make it 3-0.

Throughout the match, Morocco scored three goals from just five shots, demonstrating extremely high shooting efficiency.

The match between France and Paraguay was held at Philadelphia Stadium. Despite the hot weather, it did not affect the tense atmosphere. In the 66th minute, France's Doué was fouled inside the penalty area. After VAR intervention, Uzbek referee Tantashev decided to award a penalty. Mbappé stepped up to take it, showing immense composure by deceiving the goalkeeper and sending the ball into the net. This goal not only gave France the lead but also brought Mbappé's total World Cup goals to 19, just one shy of Messi's 20.

Analyzing the match statistics, France's pass accuracy was as high as 82%, while Paraguay's was only 68%. This gap to some extent reflects France's advantage in possession and tactical execution. Additionally, France's defense was very solid. Neither team managed a shot on target in the first half, a first in World Cup knockout matches in 20 years.
