Morocco wrote World Cup history on Saturday night as the first African and Arab country to reach the tournament’s semi-finals. worldcup FIFAWorldCupQatar2022 WorldCup2022

Youssef En-Nesyri leapt high in the air to head home the game’s only goal just before half-time at the Al-Thumama Stadium to strike a significant blow against football’s established order and book a semi-final on Wednesday against either England or France, who meet later on Saturday.

It was also one of Morocco’s better performances in Qatar, full of determined defending and canny counters, keeping at bay a collection of world stars despite losing key defender Nayef Aguerd to injury before the match and his back four partner and captain Romain Saiss early in the second half. A fourth-minute free kick for Portugal from wide on the right was swung into the penalty area, and met by Joao Felix’s diving header, producing a fine save from Yassine Bounou.

But seven minutes later, a high ball from the fullback into the Portuguese box was met by a towering header from En-Nesyri, outjumping both goalkeeper Diogo Costa and defender Ruben Dias to hand Morocco the lead.

African and Arab Country

Either it is an African or an Asian country. Can't be both and I say it is NOT an African country

School me about the 'African and Arab' phrase🤔

They played with passion. 10 men and still went all the way... Great to see

Congrats to them
