Morocco Beats Haiti After Dramatic Six Goal World Cup Thriller

Atlanta: (Web Desk) – Morocco staged an impressive comeback to defeat Haiti 4-2 in a thrilling FIFA World Cup Group C encounter in Atlanta on Wednesday, although the victory was not enough to secure top spot in the group.

Despite already being eliminated, Haiti produced a spirited performance and twice took the lead through a Yassine Bounou own goal and a stunning long-range strike from Wilson Isidor. The Caribbean side also celebrated its first World Cup goals since 1974, providing a memorable moment for its supporters.

Morocco responded strongly before halftime, with Achraf Hakimi and Ismael Saibari finding the net to level the score at 2-2. Saibari continued his impressive tournament form by scoring for the third consecutive match.

The decisive moment came in the second half when substitute Soufiane Rahimi fired home a deflected effort to put Morocco ahead for the first time. Gessime Yassine later added a fourth goal after Rahimi’s relentless pressing created the opportunity, sealing an entertaining victory for the Atlas Lions.

Despite collecting all three points, Morocco finished behind Brazil in Group C on goal difference and will now travel to Monterrey for a likely knockout-stage clash against either the Netherlands or Japan.
