Morocco has a historic history as the first African country to reach the semi-finals of the World Cup.
Youssef En-Nesyri became a great hero when Portugal was defeated 1-0.
The stabbed and substituted Cristiano Ronaldo became the last World Cup (?) appearance of his career.
In 2010 in South Africa, Ghana had scored fifty kicks in a shootout against Uruguay to reach the semi-finals of the World Cup. But they fell at that time on the finish line.
Twelve years later, Morocco sensationally became the first African country to achieve this feat by finishing fourth in the World Cup.
Goalkeeper board
This is after a strong and solid team effort, as we knew them in this tournament, Portugal was defeated in the quarter-finals.
Sevilla player Youssef Al-Nusairi took the lead in the 42nd minute and scored the only goal in the match after goalkeeper Diogo Costa left.
Continental captain Fernando Santos, who was once again on the bench for Cristiano Ronaldo, saw his side burn chance after opportunity.
France or England
Five minutes into the second half, he substituted a snoring Ronaldo.
Despite all the attacking arsenal on the pitch, Morocco, who were forced to replace injured full-back Romain Saïss after an hour, kept the crossbar and could prevail.
– They are incredibly loyal and do what they do very well. They deserve this every day of the week. Portugal is wasting an opportunity, says Kim Kallstrom at Cmore.
Cristiano Ronaldo walked off the field disappointed immediately after the final whistle, and now at the age of 37 he has appeared in two (?) World Cup finals.
Now France or England await in the semi-finals.
