Morocco overcame Haiti 4-2 on Wednesday night to secure a spot in the round of 32 at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

The Atlas Lions had a tough start, falling behind twice in the first half. Achraf Hakimi and Ismail Saibari equalised before halftime. In the second half, substitutes Soufiane Rahimi and Yassine Jassim scored to complete the comeback.

This victory gave Morocco seven points in Group C, placing them second behind Brazil due to goal difference. They will face the winners of Group F in the knockout stage, likely the Netherlands.

Morocco showed resilience, bouncing back from Haiti’s aggressive start. Haiti scored first with an own goal by goalkeeper Yassine Bounou, marking their first World Cup goal since 1974. Hakimi equalised, but Haiti regained the lead with a goal from Wilson Isidore. Saibari’s late first-half goal kept Morocco in the game.

After halftime, Morocco increased their pressure. Key substitutions changed the game, with Rahimi scoring the go-ahead goal and Jassim sealing the win in the final minutes.

Morocco finishes the group stage strong, having drawn with Brazil and beaten Scotland. Despite concerns about conceding goals, their attacking depth and recent performances offer hope for the knockout stage.

Haiti ended their campaign with one point, while Morocco looks ahead to their next challenge.
