ShareMorocco edged a six-goal thriller against Haiti to move on to seven points in Group C, but they were unable to advance as group winners.Substitutes Soufiane Rahimi and Gessime Yassine both scored as Morocco came from behind twice to beat Haiti 4-2, but their victory was not enough to finish top of Group C. Needing to either better Brazil's result or match it whilst overturning a goal difference margin of two, Morocco fell just short after Carlo Ancelotti's team swept aside Scotland. They will face the winners of Group F in the last 32, which is currently the Netherlands, ahead of their final group game at the World Cup against Tunisia later this week. But Morocco were stunned in the 10th minute when Jean-Kevin Duverne crossed for Lenny Joseph to backheel home, with the ball coming off Yassine Bounou and credited as an own goal against the goalkeeper.But the Atlas Lions improved thereon, and only a sensational double stop from Johny Placide denied Achraf Hakimi and Ayoub El Kaabi the chance to level things up, but Morocco would get their equaliser six minutes before the break. Placide failed to deal with Bilal El Khannouss' deflected shot, with Hakimi on hand to turn in the rebound on the line. Haiti then hit back four minutes later in stunning fashion through Wilson Isidor, who picked out the top-left corner with a stunning drive from 25 yards out. However, parity was restored at Atlanta Stadium in first-half stoppage time by Ismael Saibari, who swept Hakimi's cutback into the bottom-left corner for his third goal of the tournament, though his blushes were spared by the offside flag after he missed from close range early in the second half. As the game wore on, Haiti looked dangerous without testing Bounou, and their hopes of claiming a first World Cup point were dashed 12 minutes from time by substitute Rahimi, who collected Chadi Riad's headed flick before firing his effort, which took a deflection, into the net. Morocco added further gloss to the scoreline in the 89th minute when Yassine tucked home after Rahimi kept the ball in when challenging Carlens Arcus, with the goal given after a lengthy VAR review. Super Saibari makes history as Hakimi showcases his classMorocco knew it would take a tall order to topple Brazil at the top of Group C, and they were made to work for their victory against a spirited Haiti side, who doubled their entire World Cup goal tally in the first half, but the Atlas Lions' individual quality shone through. Saibari was the particular standout for Morocco with yet another well-taken goal. He became the first African player to score in all three group-stage games in a single edition of the World Cup, while also becoming the first Moroccan player to net three times at FIFA's flagship competition. He surpassed Abdeljalil Hadda, Salaheddine Bassir, Abderrazak Khairi, and Youssef En-Nesyri, though his goal was teed up by the impressive Hakimi, who has now created 22 chances at the World Cup so far (seven against Haiti), the most of any player for Morocco in the history of the competition.The Paris Saint-Germain full-back also scored his first-ever World Cup goal in what was his 13th appearance in the competition, while he also registered team-high totals for touches (104), crosses (nine) and shots (five, level with Saibari). In what was an entertaining encounter, Morocco were deserving victors. They finished with an expected goals (xG) total of 3.26 from their 22 shots compared to Haiti's 0.66 from nine attempts, though they will be happy to have at least got themselves on the scoresheet here.
