The knockout stage of the Men’s Olympic Tournament will see Morocco and the USA face each other at the Parc des Princes in Paris on Friday afternoon. Both teams fight for a place in the semifinal.
Morocco Olympic Preview & Form
Morroco have reached their first Olympic men’s football quarterfinal since 1972 after they defeated Iraq in their last match by a 3-0 scoreline. The Atlas Lions bounced back from their shocking 2-1 defeat to Ukraine in the second round, but their victory in group stage round three was enough to seal their first spot in Group B, though they tied by the same six points with Argentina.
Notably, the Morroco attacking force has been superb, having scored at least two or more goals since the start of the Olympics in Paris.
USA Olympics Preview & Form
The USA bounced back after a 3-0 defeat in their group-stage opener against France. They secured their spot in the knockout stage by winning their second and final group stage matches, defeating New Zealand 4-1 and Guinea 3-0. During their winning run, the USA scored seven goals and conceded only once. Marko Mitrović’s team will aim to make history in Paris, as they did not advance to the knockout stage in their last two editions.
