53 mins: David with a decent run, and he gets just inside the Morocco box before he’s blocked off.
Morocco counter and Hakimi similarly gets to the edge of the box, but he’s dispossessed well!
Canada counter now, end-to-end stuff…

50 mins: Eustaquio takes it short and trades it with Buchanan briefly, before the ball is clipped into the box, where De Fougerolles’s header is thwarted.
He then commits a foul as Morocco break. A third yellow card for Canada.

48 mins: Ounahi bends the ball out to Hakimi on the right flank, where he’s denied a run into the box by Laryea – his sparring partner from the first half.
Throw-in. A cross attempt ensues, and Laryea blocks again for another throw.
Soon it’s Canada’s turn to attack, but Oluwaseyi dwells on the ball a little long in the box. Still, he wins a corner.

Predictions for the second half? Surely Morocco’s quality will tell eventually, but there have been very few signs of that yet…
Also, their four yellow cards could haunt them. Canada have two, as well.

HALF-TIME! Canada 0-0 Morocco
45+6 mins: El Khannouss is booked! That’s four of the Morocco players on a yellow card going into the second half.
He gets one for blocking De Fougerolles, with their knees clashing and a hand in the face, too.
The half-time whistle sounds.

45+5 mins: Morocco counter, and they briefly look dangerous, but they work the ball too awkwardly out to the left, labouring a bit. One pass finally ends up behind the intended man, and the move breaks down.

Canada 0-0 Morocco
45+3 mins: We’re halfway through the six minutes of added time.
The game has become quite bitty now. Another Johnston throw leads to a few loose headers, before Sigur commits a foul on Halhal by the corner flag.
It sounds like someone is shouting, “You’re serious?! You’re serious?”, John McEnroe style – it mighttttt be Canada’s (American) coach Jesse Marsch, but I can’t be sure!
