Morocco Beat Portugal To Secure Historic Semi Final Ticket

The Atlas Lions are the first African side to reach the World Cup semi-finals thanks to Youssef En-Nesyri’s goal, which saw Portugal off the world cup.

Morocco fans go wild as team score first against Portugal

Morocco secured their greatest-ever victory after edging past Portugal to become the first African team to make the World Cup semi-finals.

The Atlas Lions survived late pressure from the Selecao after grabbing the lead through Youssef En-Nesyri’s first-half header.

The goal came from Yahia Attiyat Allah standing a ball up to the penalty spot for the Sevilla striker to jump high and plant a header beyond the onrushing Diogo Costa into the empty net.

It was almost two after the second half resumed, Hakim Ziyech’s tantalising delivery getting the thinnest of touches from Jawad El Yamiq with the ball deflecting back out off Costa.

Bruno Fernandes went close with a thumping drive that beat Bounou but sailed just over the bar.

It was one-way traffic as the Selecao pushed for an equaliser; Felix combining with substitute Cristiano Ronaldo before a powerful, curling effort forced Bounou into a brilliant save.

Walid Cheddira was sent off in stoppage time after collecting two yellow cards in two minutes. It could have been 2-0 late on but for Zakaria Aboukhlal’s lack of composure when sent through on goal one-on-one.

And Portugal almost punished Morocco with Pepe free at the back post and placing a header inches wide of the near post.
