Ounahi and Rahimi put Morocco in World Cup quarter-finals and end Canada’s journey

As Azzedine Ounahi put Morocco ahead early in the second half, his coach Mohamed Ouahbi wagged a delighted finger. There was, perhaps, relief there too. In February he replaced the most successful coach in Morocco’s history, Walid Regragui, who may not have been popular by the end, but the idea that his successor might surpass his achievements seemed almost impossible. That may still be a way off but, five months on, Morocco have become the first African side to reach the World Cup quarter-finals twice – and there’s not much doubt that they’re playing better.Criticism of Regragui at the 2025 Cup of Nations, which Morocco hosted and may have won on appeal – although we’ll have to wait for the court of arbitration for sport ruling to be sure – seemed harsh to outsiders. He had taken Morocco to a World Cup semi-final and had lost only four of his 49 games in charge – among them that semi-final against France in Qatar and the third-place playoff against Croatia.

Egypt striker Mohamed Salah faces a race for fitness ahead of his team's World Cup last-32 tie against Australia next Friday after coach Hossam Hassan revealed he has suffered a knee injury in the 1-1 draw against Iran in Seattle, reported Xinhua. Salah was replaced by Mostafa Zico in the 57th minute of the match and when asked about his star player after the game, Hassan explained the 34-year-old had felt a problem in his left knee and was being checked by the medical team. I have spoken to Salah and he told me that he is going to recover and that it is not a serious injury, Hassan told the press. We still have time to work with the medical team and I think he will be back. When I spoke to him, he assured me he will recover, repeated the coach after Egypt had qualified from the group stage in a World Cup for the first time in its history. Salah has had a good tournament so far with one goal and two assists and his leadership is also vital to the African nation.
