Morocco beat Spain this Tuesday and qualified for the quarterfinals of the 2022 World Cup. A panenka from the winger Hakimi completely fooled the Spanish goalkeeper Unai Simón.
The game reached the interesting interval, especially by Morocco, but without goals. The Africans gave the ball to Spain during the first half, but they created much more danger.
In the second half there was more Spain, but few chances reappeared for Luis Enrique’s men and Morocco held out until extra time, which was marked by a great save by Simón and a shot with Sarabia, on the last play.
After 120 minutes without scoring, the Africans, who in the previous five appearances had the best record of being in the round of 16 in 1986, scored three of their four shots, while the Spaniards missed all three.
