Morocco booked their place in the World Cup knockout stages for the first time since 1986 with a 2-1 win over Canada on Thursday.

The Atlas Lions went into the clash at Al Thumama Stadium in a strong position in Group F, knowing just a single point would see them into the last 16 following a 2-0 win over Belgium and the goalless draw with Croatia.

And Morocco didn't waste any time against an already-eliminated Canada, with Hakim Ziyech firing home from midway inside the opposition half in the fourth minute after goalkeeper Milan Borjan inexplicably played the ball right into his path.
