Morocco's national team secured a resounding 4-0 victory over the United States at the Parc des Princes, booking their place in the semifinals of the Paris 2024 Olympic tournament. The Moroccan side demonstrated clear superiority throughout the match, dominating with high pressing and a fast-paced game that overwhelmed their opponents.

From the outset, Morocco showcased why they are known as "The Lions of the Atlas." Under the management of Sektioui, the team played with intensity and technical skill, highlighted by standout performances from Achraf Hakimi, Ezzalzouli, and the tournament's top scorer, Rahimi. The opening goal came in the 30th minute when Rahimi converted a penalty, solidifying his position as the top scorer of the tournament.

Despite the United States' efforts to adjust their tactics in the second half, they were unable to contain the Moroccan attack. Ezzalzouli assisted Akhomach for the second goal, and shortly after, Hakimi scored the third with a stunning solo run from his own half, leaving the Americans with no chance to respond.

Morocco continued their dominance, and in the final minutes, a VAR-reviewed penalty allowed Mahouhob to score the fourth goal in stoppage time. The match turned into a showcase of Moroccan superiority, with the crowd appreciating the quality of play and the team's talent.

This defeat adds to the U.S.'s summer of disappointment, having only reached the semifinals once since the Sydney 2000 Olympics and struggling in the recent Copa América against Bolivia and Panama. Morocco, in contrast, is emerging as a serious contender for the medals, with hopes set on securing gold in Paris.
