Captain Achraf Hakimi scores as the Atlas Lions put on a dominant performance in front of a partisan crowd in Paris and get close to an Olympic medal.
Captain Achraf Hakimi was among the scorers as a dominant Morocco outclassed USA to reach the semifinals of the Olympic men’s football tournament, winning their last-eight tie 4-0.
Morocco had the vast majority of a noisy and packed crowd at the Parc des Princes behind them and were simply too strong for the USA.
Soufiane Rahimi opened the scoring from the penalty spot before Ilias Akhomach and Hakimi added further goals in the second half, with another spot-kick, this one by Mehdi Maouhoub, wrapping up the win.
After topping their group ahead of Argentina, Morocco are looking like serious gold medal contenders and advance to a semifinal on Monday in Marseille against either Japan or Spain.
