Morocco’s World Cup triumph over Canada was marred by a serious injury to star midfielder Ismael Saibari, who was forced off early in the first half. The 25-year-old, who recently secured a high-profile move to German giants Bayern Munich, appeared devastated as he left the pitch.
Jesse Marsch struck a defiant tone after Canada's World Cup dream came to an end with a 3-0 defeat to Morocco, insisting his side outplayed their opponents for long spells, while also revealing why Alphonso Davies was left as an unused substitute for the crucial last-16 clash.
Canada pushed Morocco, but missed chances, one costly mistake, and late punishment from Azzedine Ounahi and Soufiane Rahimi ended Jesse Marsch’s historic World Cup run in Houston.
