FIFA has named Atlas Lions captain Achraf Hakimi as Man of the Match following Morocco’s 4-2 victory over Haiti on Wednesday at Atlanta Stadium in their Group C fixture of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
The Moroccan right-back delivered a decisive performance, scoring the equalizer (1-1) before providing an assist late in the first half that enabled Ismaël Saibari to level the score once again at 2-2.
Influential at both ends of the pitch, Hakimi was one of the key architects of Morocco’s victory, which secured the Atlas Lions a place in the knockout stage of the tournament.
With the win, Morocco finished second in Group C, level on points with group leaders Brazil, who claimed top spot on goal difference after defeating Scotland 3-0.
The Atlas Lions will play their Round of 16 match on June 29 at Monterrey Stadium in Mexico against the winners of Group F.
