PREVIEW | Morocco seeking another Iberian scalp against high-flying Portugal FIFAWorldCup FIFAWorldCupQatar2022

Portugal's Cristiano Ronaldo tm during training.

They now have a chance to become Africa’s and the Arab world’s first semi-finalists in front of a fervid support which has been swollen by backing from much of the rest of the region. Morocco refused to be hypnotised by their opponents’ extraordinary 1,019 passes and denied the Spaniards a goal in two hours of energy-sapping action as they secured a 0-0 draw before edging into the last eight on penalties.

Ronaldo’s replacement on the night, 21-year-old Goncalo Ramos, scored the first hat-trick of this year’s tournament and looks sure to retain his place to take on a watertight Morocco defence.
