Aug 2, 2024, 03:11 PM

The Morocco men's soccer team has advanced to the semi-finals of the 2024 Olympic Games after a decisive 4-0 victory over the United States in the quarterfinals. This marks Morocco's first-ever appearance in the Olympic semi-finals, following their historic run to the semi-finals of the 2022 FIFA World Cup. Achraf Hakimi, who scored Morocco’s third goal, played a pivotal role in the match. The U.S. men's team, which managed only one shot on goal, saw their medal hopes dashed with this defeat. Morocco, the group leader with the most eliminations and best scoring record in the competition, will face either Japan or Spain in the semi-finals.
