Morocco 4-2 Haiti Player Ratings: Late Strikes from Rahimi and Yassine Saves The Day For Morocco As The Atlas Lions Finish Second In Group C

Morocco took on Haiti at the Atlanta Stadium in their final group stage game of the FIFA World Cup 2026. The two teams had very different targets for this game. Morocco wanted to win the three points to finish second or first, depending on Brazil's result against Scotland, while Haiti were looking to play for pride after getting eliminated.

The Morocco national football team got their biggest surprise of the tournament when Haiti went ahead in just the 10th minute. A low driven cross from Jean-Kévin Duverne found Lenny Joseph in the box, whose intelligent back-heel flick went off a diving Yassine Bounou's back into the Moroccan net, resulting in an own goal.

The Atlas Lions tried to find solutions, and they got it through their captain and the best right back in the world currently, Achraf Hakimi, as he took advantage of Johny Placide's horrendous mistake in clearing the deflected cross and bundled home from close range.

What impressed was the willingness of the Haiti national football team to push further, as they took the lead again through Sunderland forward Wilson Isidor in the 43rd minute. The striker took a touch to open up his body on the right-hand side of the box and fired in a rocket, which was almost impossible to save.

However, the 2022 semifinalists found their way back into the game once again, as Achraf Hakimi set up Ismael Saibari, who placed his shot into the bottom right corner to level things up just before halftime.

Both teams pushed for the winner in the second half but had little luck in front of the goal. Saibari came the closest when he missed a tap-in from inches away from the goal line, but the linesman had his flag up to save him from having a sleepless night.

Fortunes turned for Morocco in the 78th minute, as Chadi Riad flicked on from a corner that fell to Soufiane Rahimi, whose shot took a slight deflection off Ricardo Adé to nestle in the left top corner of the net.

Another substitute, Gessime Yassine, scored the fourth goal of the game in the 89th minute, assisted by Rahimi. A brief VAR check confirmed that the ball was within the field of play when it was crossed, therefore the goal stood.

Morocco finished second in their group with this win and booked a place in the Round of 32, while Haiti could be proud of their outing today despite the defeat.
