In defeating Portugal, the nation becomes the first African country to reach a semi-final in the World Cup.
Morocco stunned Portugal 1-0 and advanced to a historic semi-final in the World Cup after eliminating their favored rival—and game legend Cristiano Ronaldo. In defeating the Portuguese side, the nation becomes the first African country to reach a semi-final in the World Cup.
Previously, the two teams had only met twice—once in 1986, and again in 2018, with each winning one of those encounters. The winning goal, scored by Youssef En-Nesyri, hit the back of the net in the 42nd minute of play. And despite the entry of superstar Ronaldo, who had ridden the bench for much of the tournament, Portugal couldn’t find the equalizer. They will now play the winner of France and England.
