Ounahi shone during the match and scored a brace as part of Morocco's 3-0 victory over Canada.
Ounahi said after the match: "I am very happy to have scored two goals. The match was not easy for us. We saw that Canada caused us a lot of problems, especially in the first half."
He added, "This match will help us develop. We have seen that there is no easy match in this tournament, but the most important thing is that we qualified."
The Moroccan team qualified for the quarter-finals of the 2026 World Cup after defeating Canada 3-0 in the round of 16.
Morocco defeated Canada, one of the host countries along with the USA and Mexico, to reach the quarter-finals of the World Cup for the second consecutive time.
Morocco will meet the winner of the France vs. Paraguay match in the quarter-finals.
Morocco became the first African team to reach the World Cup quarter-finals twice in a row.
Morocco's three goals were scored by Aziz Ounahi with two goals, and a goal by Sofiane Rahimi in injury time.
Aziz justified you, Shawali
With the main Moroccan commentator for the match, Jawad Badda, the Tunisian Issam Shawali was present on a second channel.
Since the beginning of the World Cup, Shawali has not been lucky in his commentary on matches of Arab or African teams, and all of them left the tournament during his commentary.
This made Issam Shawali jokingly mock himself on air during his commentary on one of the matches, pointing to the bad luck of the teams he comments on.
With the revelation of Issam Shawali's presence as a commentator on the match, some began to worry about the Moroccan team in the Canada match.
But Aziz Ounahi justified Issam Shawali by scoring a brace in Morocco's victory over Canada, ending the idea of bad luck for Arab and African teams with Issam Shawali.
