Morocco national team match analysis

0:1

Morocco beat Scotland 0-1 away from home, backing up a modest xG edge (0.99 to 0.51).

2:0

France won the underlying argument by a wide margin. The score was 2:0, the chance total was 3.04 to 0.14, and those numbers fit each other cleanly. This was not a puzzle about possession or passing volume. It was a match about who kept producing expensive moments, and who did not.

0:3

For 49 minutes, the noise belongs to pressure without reward. Canada keep sending the game toward Morocco’s area, stacking corners, collecting box entries and asking the same question again. Then Luc De Fougerolles goes into the book at 49, Azzedine Ounahi scores at 50, and the match changes from a territorial argument into a lesson in timing. Pre-match, the table hinted that Morocco might manage the occasion with their 7 points to Canada’s 4; what actually unfolds is harsher than management and sharper than control. The standings give this fixture its first outline.

1:1

A 1:1 draw between a team playing football and a team playing against it. Morocco owned 70% of the ball and built chances worth xG 1.40; the Netherlands answered with organised suffering and a goalkeeper who carried the point home.

4:2

Haiti's goalkeeper made eight saves and still picked the ball out of his net four times. That single line describes the whole evening: Morocco won 4:2 on a 3.76 xG avalanche, and the 50% Crime Index marks it as routine.

1:1

Brazil and Morocco played out a 1-1 draw at the group stage with a close xG reading (1.26 to 1.37).
