Morocco advanced to the round of 32 of the 2026 World Cup, after a hard-fought victory over Haiti, as the Atlas Lions overturned their two-time deficit to win 4-2.
In contrast to Morocco's early dominance, Haiti took the lead from a counter-attack through Leni Joseph, in a resounding surprise.
The goal came from a cross played by Jean-Kevin Duverne, which Yassine Bounou failed to disperse, and was met by Leni Joseph with a shot in the goal.
Morocco's equalizer came in the 39th minute through Achraf Hakimi, who followed up a ball that fell from the goalkeeper's hands.
Morocco did not congratulate with the draw, as Haitian star Wilson Isidor surprised everyone with a rocket shot that found the net of Yassine Bounou, to snatch his team's second goal amid everyone's astonishment, but before the final whistle of the first half, Ismail Sibari managed to score the equalizer for Morocco.
Morocco rose up in the second half, and completely controlled the match until the 78th minute came when Sofiane Rahimi broke up the clash and scored the third goal for the Moroccan national team, and Yassine Jassim concluded the goals of the Moroccan national team with the fourth goal in the 90th minute, to snatch a valuable victory for his team.
