Morocco vs USA

Morocco's Olympic football team made history by reaching their first-ever men's football semi-final with a commanding 4-0 victory over the United States at the Parc des Princes. Captain Achraf Hakimi and Soufiane Rahimi, who is the tournament's top scorer with five goals, played pivotal roles in the win, alongside Ilias Akhomach and Mehdi Maouhoub, who each contributed goals. The match showcased Morocco's dominance, particularly in the first half, where they controlled the game and capitalized on two penalties. The victory not only underlines their status as serious gold medal contenders but also marks a continuation of Morocco's impressive football trajectory following their historic World Cup semi-final appearance in 2022. They will face either Japan or Spain in the semi-finals on August 5, 2024, as they aim for Olympic glory. The substantial support from the Moroccan community in France played a significant role in energizing the team's performance.
