Ziyech and En-Nesyri scored the goals for the African side while Aguerd’s own goal got Canada on the score-sheet.
However, Morocco did enough to seal their place in the Round of 16 for the first time since 1986 as they aimed to create history.
The African side are hoping to keep their status alive as the only African side relevant in the competition currently.
On the other hand, Spain lost 2-1 to Japan in their final group match on Friday.
Morata’s strike did not mean much as Japan came from behind through Doan and Tanaka’s efforts to inflict defeat.
Spain lost their first match but ended top of the table with 6 points from 3 matches.
Enrique’s men have shown quality and tenaciousness with their young squad and are hoping to continue their stay in Qatar. The winner of this clash meets Portugal/Switzerland in the Quarter-Finals.
Both teams last met in the WC 2018 in Group B, where Spain drew 2-2.

Morocco possible 11:
Bounou, Hakimi, Saiss, Aguerd, Mazraoui, Ounahi, Amrabat, Sabiri, Ziyech, En-Nesyri and Boufal
Spain possible 11:
Simon, Alba, Laporte, Rodri, Carvajal, Pedri, Busquets, Gavi, Olmo, Morata and Torres
Prediction: Morocco 1-3 Spain
Spain has too much quality for Morocco, who despite a good World Cup campaign are bound to suffer.
The African Nation is seriously going to be tested here due to their lack of experience and young side.
We see Spain sealing a comfortable win to reach the Quarter-Finals.
Players to watch out for: En-Nesyri, Ziyech, Morata and Pedri.
