Achraf Hakimi was named man of the match following Morocco’s victory over Haiti (4-2) in the third and final day of Group C at the 2026 World Cup. The captain of the Atlas Lions was recognized by FIFA after a decisive performance, marked by a goal and an assist.
In a match that proved more complicated than expected for the national team, Hakimi played a major role in Morocco’s comeback. After the Atlas Lions were shaken in the first half, the right-back brought his team back into the game by equalizing in the 39th minute, before providing an assist to Ismael Saibari just before halftime.
His influence was crucial in a match where Morocco faced some scares but ultimately managed to turn the situation around to secure their qualification for the Round of 16. Through his leadership, technical precision, and offensive contribution, Hakimi once again confirmed his importance within the Moroccan squad.
