Morocco beat Haiti 4-2 in their final Group C match at the 2026 World Cup to seal a place in the round of 32 as group runners-up — a night that began with a scare and ended as a showcase of the Atlas Lions' attacking depth. (Sky Sports)
How it unfolded
Haiti stunned Morocco with an early goal in the 10th minute and led 2-0 before captain Achraf Hakimi pulled one back on 39 and Saibari equalised in first-half stoppage time (45+1) from a Hakimi assist — 2-2 at the break. (Opta Analyst)
The second half was all Morocco. Substitute Soufiane Rahimi made it 3-2 on 78 and Gessime Yassine sealed it on 89 — two goals off the bench underlining the squad's depth.
- Result: Morocco 4-2 Haiti
- Morocco scorers: Hakimi (39), Saibari (45+1), Rahimi (78), Yassine (89)
- Outcome: Group C runners-up → round of 32
Our take: A fine win, but conceding twice early against the group's weakest side is a defensive warning for the knockouts. The big positive: the substitutes won the game — exactly what deep tournament runs are made of.
