Morocco produced an incredible performance in the quarter-final of the FIFA World Cup as they knocked out Portugal with a 1-0 win on Saturday. Youssef En-Nesyri’s goal in the 42nd minute remained the sole difference between the two sides, as Cristiano Ronaldo‘s Portugal endured a disappointing end to their campaign. Ronaldo had started from bench yet again in the quarter-final and came on early in the second half, but failed to break the deadlock for the side.
This is Morocco’s maiden appearance in the semi-finals of the FIFA World Cup, and the side will face one of England and defending champions France for a place in the final of the edition.
Morocco became the first ever African country to reach the semi-finals thanks to a towering headed goal from Youssef En-Nesyri.
In the 42nd minute En-Nesyri leapt above the Portugal defenders to meet a Yahya Attiat-Allah cross, getting just enough of his head to the ball to tip it past goalkeeper Diogo Costa, who misread its flight and crashed into his own defender.
