 Morocco have topped Group F, setting up a last-16 tie with Spain

Hakim Ziyech was the star man for Morocco 


Morocco head coach Walid Regragui promised more is to come from his side, who advanced to the round of 16 at the World Cup for the first time in 36 years with a 2-1 win over Canada.

The Atlas Lions took the lead on four minutes when a major error by goalkeeper Milan Borjan gifted Hakim Ziyech the opener and Youssef En-Nesyri made it two before the break.

Nayef Aguerd snapped a six-game clean sheet streak with an own goal but the Moroccans breathed a sigh of relief when Canadian skipper Atiba Hutchinson's second-half header off the crossbar missed by mere inches, landing on but not crossing the goal-line, ensuring they finished top of Group F.

"It was not easy," said Regragui.

"When you do have this opportunity to get into history, to make history, you remember it. And, honestly, today, first half, I think it was one of the best performances that we have had in a long time."
