Summary

Co-hosts Canada meet Morocco in their attempt to secure a place in the quarter-finals of the World Cup on July 4 in Houston. Canada qualified for this stage by finishing second in their group and defeating South Africa in the Round of 32. Morocco, coming off a semi-final appearance in the last World Cup and a record 19-match winning streak, poses a significant challenge.
