Morocco Shines with a 4-0 Victory Over the USA in Paris Olympics 2024
In a stunning display of skill and dominance, Morocco’s men’s soccer team triumphed over the U.S. with a 4-0 victory at the Parc des Princes during the 2024 Paris Olympics. This victory marks a significant milestone for Moroccan football, as the team showcased their prowess on an international stage.
From the outset, Morocco asserted their control over the match, demonstrating superior possession and attacking strategy that left the U.S. team struggling to keep up. “We knew Morocco was going to be very difficult,” admitted U.S. defender Walker Zimmerman. “They have impressive players, and they were really good.”
How Morocco Reach Last Four ?
The first blow to the American team came in the 27th minute when defender Nathan Harriel fouled Soufiane Rahimi inside the box. Rahimi, the tournament’s top goalscorer, coolly converted the penalty, giving Morocco an early lead.
Despite their best efforts, the U.S. team failed to match Morocco’s intensity. The North African team continued to dominate possession and launch explosive counter-attacks, particularly in the second half. Ilias Akhomach doubled Morocco’s lead by skillfully finishing a cross from Abde Ezzalzouli.

Morocco’s star player and Paris Saint-Germain defender Achraf Hakimi further extended the lead with a stunning goal from outside the box, showcasing his exceptional talent and composure under pressure. The American defense, unable to halt his advance, watched as the ball sailed into the bottom right corner of the net.
The victory was sealed in stoppage time when Mehdi Mawhoub converted a second penalty, again following a foul by Harriel. This emphatic win not only demonstrated Morocco’s footballing excellence but also reflected the team’s preparation and unity.
Despite the U.S. team’s efforts throughout the tournament, head coach Marko Mitrovic acknowledged the superiority of their opponents. “For everything the guys did over the last ten months, they didn’t deserve this result. I believe they deserved a better outcome,” Mitrovic stated.
Morocco Is Going For GOLD!
With this victory, Morocco advances to the semifinals and will face the winner of the quarterfinal match between Spain and Japan. This triumph is a testament to Morocco’s growing football legacy and their potential to achieve even greater success on the global stage.
