Morocco Defeats U.S. 4-0 in Olympic Soccer

The United States men's soccer team was eliminated from the Olympic tournament after a 4-0 quarterfinal defeat to Morocco at Parc des Princes. Soufiane Rahimi opened the scoring with a penalty in the 29th minute, followed by goals from Ilias Akhomach (63rd minute), Achraf Hakimi (70th minute), and Mehdi Maouhoub, who added a second penalty during stoppage time. Morocco, supported by a passionate crowd, showcased their dominance throughout the match, capitalizing on a U.S. team that struggled to create scoring opportunities. This defeat marks a disappointing end to the U.S. campaign, although they reached the quarterfinals for the first time since Sydney 2000. Morocco will face the winner of the Japan-Spain match in the semifinals, continuing their impressive run in the tournament.
