00:00Four years ago, they lit up the tournament
00:07Victory tonight and by a fair few goals as well could even see them win the group
00:11Ayub Al-Kabi has been brought in as well. He will become Morocco's all-time top scorer
00:16And Wilson Isidore, who had a great season with Sunderland in the Premier League
00:26Off we go, Morocco have eyes on top spotting group C
00:30They start tonight second behind Brazil, level on four points
00:35Scotland just behind on three, it's that close
00:40With goals to boot at a victory
00:42Could even take them above Brazil come the end of the evening
00:46But what can Haiti do here in their final game at this World Cup
00:51And they should have proud of what this group has achieved
00:58But that they were able to hold Brazil to nil in the second half of their last game despite defeat
01:03Quite an achievement
01:06And they should have never earned a point
01:09At this thing
01:11Xambra Bat will play that quarterback role, won't he?
01:20Xambra Ramabu
01:27Xambra Farat's
01:28And they could be in here, Placid with a stop
01:32But they're not quite cleared in away yet, Haiti
01:35But for Armrabat
01:37first test for Johnny Placide
01:40on his final game
01:41in Haitian Colours
01:46and it's headed away by Providence
01:51eventually able to get down on the ground
01:56that was a spectacular build-up
01:57from Morocco
01:58broke the pressure
02:00methodically made their way up the field
02:02that is Moroccan football at its finest
02:05he can feel the belief when Haiti get forward
02:10Providence
02:14Joseph, nowhere to go
02:16and he's got to get a free kick
02:21the Haitians are just feeding off the energy
02:23inside of Atlanta Stadium
02:26as they get forward
02:27they just continue
02:29to just build off of that
02:31and it goes a little bit quicker
02:32here's a glimpse just a moment ago
02:33at the end of what was
02:34somewhat of a 30 pass sequence
02:37just inches away from being able to put it on the foot
02:40of Saibari
02:42been a goal in three straight matches
02:44just that close
02:45but Placide in a good position to anticipate
02:52Jean-Marie
02:53it was Jean-Rigna Bellegard here
02:55that's for Wolverhampton Wanderers
02:57relegated with Wolves from the Premier League
02:59this past season
03:01want to score a
03:03City international goal
03:04what a time to get it here
03:05for us to provide something
03:07quite special
03:13it is Bellegard
03:15it was that far away
03:17cover some ground
03:19just tell the way he was lining up
03:20he always fancied it
03:21that it was hit with some pace
03:24had to from that distance
03:25he's got the
03:26wow well run back
03:29well run back
03:30not giving up there
03:30at all
03:31proved once
03:34it was experienced
03:36who
03:36kept it with the challenge
03:41as a textbook tackle
03:43gets all the ball
03:44he's able to put himself
03:45into a position
03:45where he's strong
03:46in the challenge
03:47but also keeps possession
03:50that's the spirited performance
03:51you can expect for 90 minutes
03:52on the station side
03:54it's very answer
03:55placing the French second tier
03:57as club Nancy
03:58just avoided a relegation
04:02Saibari Rosewell
04:05and gets it back again now
04:08it can't be
04:10when he comes to nothing
04:11and now he couldn't get the pass away
04:12to Brian Diaz
04:14he should have gone for the first time
04:15ball played across
04:16instead of taking the touch
04:17he realized it too late
04:21what a belief again
04:22when Haiti churn it over
04:26maybe on their way home after this
04:28but my goodness
04:29are they determined
04:30to put on a show
04:31normally the viewers just wait
04:33to hear your voice get higher
04:34but now they just listen
04:35to the cheers of the Haitians
04:36when they recover it
04:37well this will be interesting
04:38in terms of a Moroccan point of view
04:41Brazil on leading
04:4350 junior has got the goal
04:45so Brazil leading Scotland
04:47in Miami
04:54meanwhile here's Casimir
04:59once good play
05:00so Jack across
05:02oh the scores
05:07Lenny Joseph
05:14listen to this place
05:16this is Hades time
05:17this is Hades moment
05:18just watch this skill
05:20from Duvorn as he's able to freeze
05:22his defender
05:25Salah Adin
05:26as he bites on the fake
05:27now Joseph does a brilliant job
05:29of getting across
05:30and then stopping
05:30he stays in between the posts
05:33and then watch this
05:34how do you do with the back heel
05:37it's a thing of beauty
05:39from Haiti
05:40it's a wonderful passage of play
05:42and what a moment
05:43for the Haitians
05:45a goal that they will
05:46savor for a lifetime
05:48at his first competitive cap
05:52at a World Cup
06:01they fancy more here
06:07they go back
06:08to Emmanuel Sanon
06:10who scored their only goals
06:13and the last time
06:14they played at a World Cup
06:15in 1954
06:19but here's Hakimi
06:22driving on for Morocco
06:24and Kapi
06:25and then he caught Al Placid
06:27who reacted
06:28this is the one
06:29just a moment ago
06:30that nearly caught Placid
06:31out at the near post
06:33oh he had to be alert
06:34to change his angles
06:36to be able to push away
06:37with this
06:37it's 10 minutes in
06:38you've conceded
06:38but nothing has really changed
06:40for Morocco
06:40exactly
06:40they just need to go
06:41a bit more quickness
06:43in the final third
06:43El Canoos
06:44can make things happen
06:45El Canoos
06:46over
06:50full Morocco
06:50at this World Cup
06:51with their clearest moment yet
06:53Saibari
06:55the right positioning
06:57it's the wrong technique
06:58he's falling backwards
06:59so his shoulders
07:00are leaning back
07:01he's off
07:0390 on 3
07:04as well
07:05this would be
07:05an extraordinary achievement
07:08and Brazil
07:12leading and doing
07:13what they need to do
07:14to stay atop of this group
07:16fourth time lucky
07:17to get here
07:18to a World Cup
07:26Amrabat

07:35as well
07:35to contend with
07:38Saibari
07:39has whipped that one
07:40you know
07:41put that for a clearance
07:42I think it was
07:44exactly meant
07:56Shadi Riyad

08:35found brilliantly
08:37and Placid stops it
08:38and he can't be held
08:40Johnny Placid
08:42to get up so quickly
08:44past the find
08:46Hakimi
08:46was delightful
08:47wasn't it
08:47but that would say
08:48was good
08:48this one
08:49even better
08:49oh my goodness
08:50both of them were good
08:51he was all over
08:53Hakimi in the first one
08:54Hakimi
08:55could have been creative
08:57and just tried to slide
08:58it along the ground
08:58at the near post
08:59knowing this is the last
09:00time he'll put on
09:01the Haitian jersey
09:04Amrabat
09:05Owen
09:07Kavi here
09:07the flag does eventually
09:08go up
09:12Providence
09:13and again
09:14Ruben Providence
09:17this is football
09:18in the Netherlands
09:18Providence
09:20took him all along
09:25whatever was said
09:26in the dressing
09:27for the manager
09:27for Haiti
09:28that has worked
09:29they have played
09:29with confidence
09:30from the moment
09:32this match has started
09:33doesn't look like
09:34there's a gap
09:35in people world rankings
09:36of 83
09:36for Haiti
09:37and number 7
09:38for Morocco
09:45Devane
09:50just suckling down here
09:51for Haiti
09:52they're in the move
09:53for more
09:55he's done the hard part
09:56but watch when he gets
09:56to the end of this
09:58he's got the option
09:59to square it across
10:00with two players
10:01yet he just gets
10:04that's favourable
10:04to try to finish it
10:05from there
10:06as opposed to
10:06just fizzing that
10:08across to a teammate
10:13savari this time
10:14felt
10:16looking good
10:18looking really good
10:20experience
10:21this is out
10:23for what it was
10:24too far
10:30it's Riyad
10:32hello
10:49keep it
10:50that's nice
10:50finding Brahim Diaz
10:52the number 10
10:53playing in that
10:5310 roll
10:571.6
10:58with the staff
10:59and it's going to be
11:00forced in
11:00Hakimi on the line
11:04cutting there
11:05where it matters
11:06for Morocco
11:07how they needed that
11:12this goal started
11:13from Saibari
11:14who made a run
11:14to clear space
11:16in which Brahim Diaz
11:17was able to
11:18then get into a position
11:19switching it out wide
11:22to El Canals
11:24and Hakimi
11:25from his right back position
11:27just puts himself
11:28into a spot
11:28to go and affect the play
11:30and he never quits on it
11:32it's a bit fortuitous
11:33how it falls to him
11:34but he's done the work
11:36to get himself
11:37into the position
11:38to bundle it
11:39over the line
11:39and give
11:41Morocco
11:41a lifeline
11:42back in this match
11:53for this to be his goal
11:54for this to be his goal
11:55to be his first ever
11:55at a World Cup
11:58and it all looks good
11:59and on a day when he goes
12:02tops of any African player
12:03with 13 World Cup appearances
12:05he marks it with his first goal
12:08typical hard work
12:09from Hakimi
12:10getting to the back post
12:11in one of the deepest
12:12lying positions
12:15there was just so much
12:16to appreciate
12:17about that goal
12:18they need more
12:20they need more
12:20that's Okapi
12:23Watson played into the path
12:24where Saibari wanted it
12:25but the more that they are
12:26going to push forward
12:28Haiti are going to believe
12:29that they can do something here
12:30on the counter attack
12:33Joseph couldn't get the ball
12:34out of his feet
12:35in the end
12:35tremendous from Amar
12:36about to come back
12:37and just apply enough pressure
12:38to be able to win it back
12:41Brian Diaz
12:42brought down
12:45experience has gotten fortunate
12:46he could have gotten
12:47a yellow card earlier
12:48for the one with Saibari
12:49and then now
12:50he's stopped another
12:51attack building up
12:53and I think that's exactly
12:54what Hakimi
12:55as captain
12:55is allowed to do
12:56to approach the referee
12:57he's just saying
12:58come on
12:59that's three now
13:00he's saying the same thing
13:01Saibari got punished
13:01for staying on his feet
13:02earlier when it would have
13:03been a surefire booking
13:04that's the one
13:05for the referee
13:06you say ok
13:06you've got two of those now
13:08that's enough for a booking
13:09in his eyes
13:12here is Hakimi
13:23oh
13:24that's going to go
13:25the other way
13:26he's going to go
13:26against Morocco
13:27here and against Joseph
13:28can't believe it
13:34it's like a good old
13:36old school
13:36tussle there
13:37wasn't it
13:38between a
13:38a number nine
13:39and a center off
13:42just caught
13:43Halal in the face
13:44Joseph's just trying
13:45to feel where Halal is
13:47with his arm
13:47he's never looked back
13:48at him
13:52Kasimir for
13:53Haiti
13:56despite scoring
13:57of only three touches
13:58in the
13:59Morocco box
14:02it's the thunderclaps
14:03from the Moroccan fans
14:05echo around the
14:06Atlanta stadium
14:13going back to that goal
14:14for Morocco
14:15there's
14:15then the build up
14:16it just took a run
14:17from Saibari
14:18that immediately
14:19made all four
14:20the Haitians drop back
14:22Providence
14:24Providence
14:25Providence for the cross
14:28quite sit down here
14:29for Wilson Isidore
14:30he's not really been able
14:31to get in the game at all
14:32now he does
14:33oh my goodness
14:35oh wow
14:37Wilson Isidore
14:47this is as good
14:49as it gets
14:50just the ability
14:52for Isidore
14:53to find the puck
14:54in his face
14:54and then
14:55bang
14:58that is one of the
14:59best strikes
15:00you will ever see
15:01in the World Cup
15:05incredible technique
15:06stays over
15:08it
15:08drives through it
15:10there's not a
15:11goalkeeper in the world
15:13that's saving that
15:13it's another
15:15magical moment
15:16at the World Cup
15:18and not an ounce
15:20of emotion
15:21from the coach
15:22even the Moroccan fans
15:26my word
15:28Wilson Isidore
15:30for the goals
15:32of the tournament
15:32here they come again
15:34Providence
15:37so many Moroccan shirts
15:39around
15:40the challenges
15:41are flying in now
15:44this is football
15:45at its finest
15:46just end to end
15:47stuff
15:47feeding off the energy
15:49inside of this building
15:51the Haitians
15:53have just been
15:54tremendous
15:55to be able
15:56to stave off
15:57attack after attack
15:58and then their ability
15:59to score a goal
16:01of the highest quality
16:09my word
16:10there's 240 seconds
16:12between the goals
16:13but every time
16:14one team is throwing
16:16a punch
16:17the other is throwing
16:18a punch right back
16:22Hakimi
16:23lays the pullback
16:24and there's the lever
16:26Saipari
16:27at the World Cup
16:28up again
16:302-2
16:32what a game
16:34of football
16:34this is
16:35and here's the response
16:37from Morocco
16:38and Saipari
16:40for the third game
16:43Morocco
16:43just will not quit
16:45and it's Hakimi again
16:47the precision
16:49on this back pass
16:50it's inch perfect
16:52and the way he
16:53and the way he
16:54cushions it
16:55along the grass
16:56makes it so easy
16:57for Saipari
16:58to stay over this
16:59he doesn't have to put
17:00any additional power
17:01gets it spot on
17:02and he becomes
17:03the first African
17:04to score
17:04in all three group games
17:06what a moment
17:07what a response
17:08from Morocco
17:08what a game
17:10and what a tournament
17:16yes
17:16they've got the record
17:18as well
17:18of Yusuf El Naziri
17:23really sweet finish
17:24this
17:25from a player
17:26who's having the time
17:27of his life
17:27at this World Cup
17:30that run
17:30from Diaz
17:31is so important
17:32as well
17:32because it just
17:33freezes
17:34Del Kuo
17:35who has to go
17:36with Raheem Diaz
17:37and then Saipari
17:39would have
17:39undoubtedly told
17:40Diaz to leave it
17:42that is superb
17:43technique
17:44and we're going to
17:45have five more minutes
17:46to the end
17:46of this first half
17:47first half
17:48you don't want to end
17:50can we have more
17:57that's why
17:57Morocco have come back
18:02as you say
18:03Jamie Saipari
18:03the first African
18:05player to score
18:06in all three group
18:07games at a
18:07World Cup
18:16Hakimi again though
18:17has just proven
18:18his worth
18:18he's got a goal
18:20and an assist
18:20Morocco needed him
18:22to start to
18:22really come alive
18:23in this tournament
18:25he's done so today
18:26it's just been
18:27counter punches
18:28from Morocco
18:29because Haiti's
18:30been the side
18:30to throw the first
18:31punch
18:35so in Morocco
18:36went to five points
18:38and currently Brazil
18:39who are leading
18:41atop of the group
18:42on seven points
18:43in group C
18:49here's Hakimi

18:56and
18:56nearly the glance

19:13to this pass
19:14from Elkanus
19:15the movement
19:16to the near post
19:17from Elkanus
19:18will expect himself
19:18to score from there
19:25Saibari again
19:27it is breathless
19:28stuff out here
19:31cannot take your eyes
19:32off what's going on
19:33and Passif
19:33behind this

19:42we have three goals
19:43in 400 seconds
19:44so yeah
19:44that's the pace
19:45at which this is going
19:46here we go again
19:47Brahim Diaz
19:48oh wrong option
19:50and that A can clear
19:56Hakimi
19:58a lightning burst
19:59of his
20:00just nudged up
20:01there by
20:01Providence this time
20:04still Danny McKinley
20:05keeps his cards
20:06in his pocket
20:14just the aerobic
20:15capacity of
20:16Hakimi
20:16to continue
20:17to make
20:17these lung
20:18busting runs
20:20at this point
20:21deep into
20:21stoppage time
20:22to help his side
20:23win a free kick
20:23which will surely
20:24be the last action
20:25of the first half
20:27this is a moment
20:28in which
20:29the runs
20:30towards the near post
20:31are so important
20:33Hakimi just needs
20:34to try to guide
20:34this around Providence
20:37just have this land
20:38right around the top
20:39of the six yard box
20:40get everybody
20:40from Haiti
20:41running back
20:41towards their own goal
20:42everyone from Morocco
20:43attacking this
20:44on the cusp
20:46of hard time
20:46oh and they
20:48had a
20:50no I think it was
20:51and that will be
20:52that
21:01Haiti get us
21:02back underway
21:04you think of that
21:05journey to get here
21:06to the World Cup
21:17this is the movement
21:19that we were talking
21:20about
21:21wonderful movement
21:22off the ball
21:22one and two touch
21:23creating space
21:24it's now chasing
21:25shadows for the Haitians
21:26really since the start
21:27of the second half
21:49all the good work
21:50that Rocco have done
21:51that's the first shot
21:53attempt in the second half
21:55now Placid does not
21:56see this
21:57just wondered how much
21:58of that he might have
21:59seen
21:59that's come through
22:00a few bodies
22:02Alcanus again
22:07Alcabi
22:08is that a busy old day
22:12almost said it
22:13favorably for
22:14Hakimi to go over this
22:15with some pace
22:16and girl this
22:17with his right foot
22:17away from
22:19Placid
22:21I'm sure
22:22for keeping
22:22straight into that
22:23blue wall
22:24and again
22:25that time
22:25I don't
22:35experience
22:43I think
22:44experience
22:44has shown
22:46many defenders
22:46you're going to
22:47struggle against
22:48Hakimi at times
22:48but he has shown
22:49that he can compete
22:50he's small in stature
22:52but big at heart
22:53Martin experience
22:54waiting for the news
22:58to come through
22:59to qualify
22:59in Costa Rica
