Canada takes on Morocco in its final group stage game of the 2022 FIFA World Cup. While Canada has been eliminated from the tournament after losing its first two games, the team is looking for its first ever World Cup points while the Africans need just a point to seal their spot in the next round.

Canada fell behind early after a poor clearance from goalkeeper Milan Borjan went right to a Hakim Ziyech, who buried it in the gaping net.
