How did Morocco exploit the space left by Canada in the second half?

Question

Accepted Answer

Morocco exploited the space Canada left them by winning second balls and duels and then turning that into quick goals

Morocco said it profited in the second half by taking advantage of the space Canada left behind. Morocco coach Mohamed Ouahbi pointed to Morocco reacting well in “second balls” and “duels,” and then using the openings that appeared. The scoring timeline reflected that pattern, with goals at 50 minutes, 82 minutes, and the 98th minute.
Morocco’s coach linked the turnaround to second balls and duels
Mohamed Ouahbi said Morocco reacted very well after the break in “second balls and the duels.” He also said the key was being able to profit from the space Canada left them. In his account, Morocco’s ability to win those moments helped them move into scoring positions.
Morocco took advantage of openings that appeared after Canada pushed forward
The match narrative describes Canada as being on top in the first half and then pushing for an equaliser after falling behind. When Canada pressed, Morocco were able to profit from the space that resulted. Ouahbi specifically framed that as the reason Morocco could take control in the second half.
The goals at 82 and 98 minutes came from that late-space situation
Azzedine Ounahi scored the opening at 50 minutes, but Morocco’s second-half impact came later. At 82 minutes, Ounahi finished with a right-footed first-time effort on the breakaway, and at 98 minutes substitute Soufiane Rahimi scored with the last kick of the match. Those late goals align with the idea that Morocco used the space Canada left behind.
Canada’s earlier pressure did not prevent Morocco from creating openings
Canada had chances early, including a save forced from Morocco goalkeeper Yassine Bounou after 10 minutes. Even after Canada’s early confidence and continued pressure, Morocco changed their second-half approach and converted moments into goals. The final 3-0 result reflected how Morocco could turn the second-half spaces into decisive strikes.
