Doha: Morocco continued their magnificiant FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 script beating Portugal by a lone goal to book a historic semi-final place. The Atlas Lions have become the first team from Africa to reach this stage of the competition.
Youssef En-Nesyri’s towering header late in the first half gave first-time quarter-finalists Morocco a 1-0 win over Portugal in the 2022 World Cup quarterfinal.
En-Nesyri, who had twice headed over the crossbar earlier, leapt higher than both Portugal goalkeeper Diogo Costa and defender Ruben Dias to put Morocco ahead in the 42nd minute. Portugal started the game with Cristiano Ronaldo on the bench and Goncalo Ramos in the XI, following his hattrick against Switzerland in the Round of 16.
