Hakimi contributed to the decisive win with a goal, while Soufiane Rahimi, Ilyas Akhomach, and Mehdi Maouhoub also found the net, propelling Morocco into the semi-finals for the first time in Olympic history.
“Winning gold with the Moroccan national team in this stadium is my dream,” Hakimi told AFP. “Reaching the semi-finals and scoring a goal on home soil is historic.”
