Fabulous ! Morocco achieves a first for Africa and for the Arab world by qualifying in the semi-finals of the World Cup, after its victory against Ronaldo Portugal.
Faced with Portugal, Moroccans were not favorites. And yet it was they who opened the scoring thanks to a goal from the head of En-Nesyri, just before half-time (42 ‘) in the first quarter-final of the day.
In the surface, Youssef En-Nesyri, in the fight with Ruben Dias, takes advantage of the bad outing of Diogo Costa to mark in power with a stung head.
Portugal, meanwhile faithful to its offensive game, broke its teeth on a very skilful Moroccan defense despite the opportunities it has obtained.
In the semi-finals, Morocco will face the duel winner between France and England next Wednesday.
Morocco puts an end to the Indian sign and becomes the African first nation to reach the last square of the World Cup.
The three previous selections of the African continent who competed in the quarterfinals of the tournament had failed at this stage: Cameroon against England (2-3 AP) in 1990, Senegal against Turkey (0-1 AP) in 2002 and Ghana against Uruguay (1-1 AP, 2 tab at 4) in 2010.
