Amazing Morocco he did it too! With the “hero” of the 31-year-old goalkeeper of the Spanish “Seville” Gianni Bunou (Bono), who reflected two penalties in “Russian roulette” from 11 meters, the African team won Spain with a score of 3:0 from the “white bullet” (0:0 at normal duration of the match and in extra time) and qualified for the “8” of the World Cup in Qatar for the first time in its history.

“Roya” “paid” for their failure, which did not get into the quarterfinals of the third world championship in a row. After a historic qualification, Morocco is waiting for the winner of the match between Portugal and Switzerland to recognize their opponent in the quarter-final stage.

The Spaniards did not score a single penalty

In the first penalty, Sabiri made it 1-0 to Morocco.

Then Sarabia, who launched a penalty on 119′, sends the ball into the left post.

Then Ziges strikes at the center and makes the score 2:0.

At the next penalty, Soler Bunu goes to the left and confidently saves, keeping the score 2:0.

Benun then leads to the right and leads 3-0, Simon falls and blocks to keep the score 2-0.

Busquets also shoots to the right, but Bunu saves.

In the last penalty, Hakimi sent the Moroccans to the quarter-finals with a stick in the center.

What happened in regular time

At the “City of Education” stadium in the city of Al Rayyan, the Moroccans started the match with a little more intensity and in the 12th minute they played the first final in the match with a foul by Hakimi, who went wide of the mark.

Spain began to take over the reins after twenty minutes, and in the 27th minute Asensio was in position to shoot, but his shot went wide.

In the 33rd minute, Mazraoui tried to surprise Simon with a shot from 35 meters, but the Basque goalkeeper showed good reflexes and blocked with a double effort. Morocco missed another chance in the 43rd minute when Agerde headed from close range over Simon’s crossbar.

In the second half, the Spaniards tried to control the pace of the match even more, missing a good moment with Olmo’s strike from a diagonal position, which saved Bono.

In the 82nd minute, after a clever vertical pass from Nico Williams, Alvaro Morata shot from a difficult and very corner position and almost made the score 1-0 in favor of the Spanish team.

In the 5th minute of stoppage time, due to a foul by Dani Olmo, Nico Williams… leaned over to pass the ball over him, but Bunu intervened brilliantly in his corner, sending the match into overtime.

In the extra 30 minutes, the Moroccans were the ones who missed their biggest chance when, in the 104th minute, Unahi made an amazing individual effort and “took” an assist to Sendira, but Simon beat him 4-a-4.

In the last quarter of extra time, the Spaniards strangled the Moroccan defense but failed to score (Sarabia’s cross in the last minute of injury time was blocked by Bono’s right post), and the game went to a penalty shootout.

This is where the composure of the Moroccans and the class of Boun, who saved the executions of Soler and Busquets, and Sarabia became the third of the Spanish team to miss the post from 11 meters, affected.

The Moroccans, on the other hand, found nets with Sabiri, Zygies and Hakimi and gained enormous qualifications, sending the Spaniards back to their homeland very early…
