Morocco 4-2 Haiti Analysis: Two Comebacks, Saibari’s Streak and Ouahbi’s Attack-First Gamble
Morocco defeated Haiti 4-2 in a pulsating Group C finale to secure qualification as group runners-up behind Brazil. The Atlas Lions recovered from two first-half deficits—cancelling out historic strikes that marked Haiti’s first World Cup goals in 52 years—before second-half substitutes Soufiane Rahimi and Yassine Gessime completed the comeback. Coach Mohamed Ouahbi’s decision to pursue an attack-first strategy delivered the necessary three points but exposed defensive vulnerabilities that were not evident in earlier matches against Brazil and Scotland.
