Morocco overturned a two‑goal deficit to beat Haiti 4-2 in Atlanta, securing second place in Group C. After falling behind to Lenny Joseph’s early strike and a Wilson Isidor equaliser, the Atlas Lions responded with goals from Achraf Hakimi, Ismael Saibari and, late in the game, Soufiane Rahimi and Gessime Yassine. Haiti entered already eliminated, making Morocco’s comeback decisive.

Haiti surged to 2‑0 within ten minutes, Joseph finishing a slick team move before the ball deflected for a Yassine Bounou own‑goal. Johny Placide’s double save denied Hakimi and Ayoub El Kaabi, yet Hakimi eventually levelled, only for Isidor to restore Haiti’s lead. Saibari’s placed finish forced a 2‑2 halftime. A late VAR review confirmed Yassine’s strike stood, cementing the win.

With the win, Morocco advances to face the Group F winner in the round of 32; the Netherlands currently top that group, though Japan and Sweden remain in contention. Haiti’s second World Cup ends without a point, but their spirited display earned praise. Morocco’s late surge demonstrates depth and resolves as the knockout phase approaches.
