Mondial-2022: Morocco still creates the feat and becomes the 1st African country in the last four
Morocco offered themselves a new exploit at the World Cup by beating Portugal 1-0. The Atlas Lions make history as the first African team to reach the semi-finals where they will face the winner of England - France.
Who will stop this Morocco? The Atlas Lions have again achieved a feat during the World Cup, this time eliminating Portugal from Cristiano Ronaldo. The band in Boufal enters history through the front door, before a historic semi-final against France or England.
For the occasion, Walid Regragui reinstated his 4-1-4-1, which had already done wonders against Spain with Amrabat as an indomitable sentinel. However, Nayef Aguerd, out injured against the Hispanics, leaves his place to El Yamiq in central hinge. Portuguese side, Cristiano Ronaldo remains once again on the bench.
Portugal honored their status as favorites at the start of the match and Bounou was quickly called upon by a header from Joao Felix (3rd). Morocco, however, came here to play the blow thoroughly and replied immediately by En-Nesyri on a corner (7th).
The Atlas Lions take the lead
Portugal pushed but the Moroccan defense held firm and the Atlas Lions began to organize their game, taking advantage in particular of the talents of Boufal and Zyiech on the wings. Under the encouragement of the public once again very numerous at the Al-Thumama stadium, the Moroccans push and begin to put Portugal in difficulty.
So much so that before the break, it was finally Morocco who took the lead. In the area, Youssef En-Nesyri, struggling with Ruben Dias, took advantage of Diogo Costa's very poor outing to score with a header (43rd, 1-0).
