The FIFA World Cup Qatar quarter-final between Morocco and Portugal is scheduled for Saturday, December 10 at 5:00 PM at the Al-Thumama Stadium in Doha and will be broadcast live on TVR 1.
Morocco and Portugal will meet in the most amazing quarter-final since the 2022 World Cup, a game that can test even the most experienced player.
Morocco are the revelations of the Gulf competition and come into the match against Portugal on the back of an impressive run, conceding just one goal in four matches: 0-0 v Croatia, 2-0 v Belgium, 2-1 v Canada (all in group) and 0-0, 3-0 on penalties with Spain (round of 16).
The Moroccans have already surpassed their best result since the 1986 World Cup, when they were eliminated by West Germany in the 1980s (0-1), and if they qualify they would become the first African team to reach the semi-finals of such a competition .
Interestingly, Valid Regrahi, the history-making selection at the final tournament in the Persian Gulf, took charge of the national team on August 31, 2022 after the dismissal of Bosnia’s Vahid Halilhodzic, who qualified them for the World Cup unbeaten. , but which did not agree with the federation on the preparation plan for the final tournament in Qatar.
Portugal showed the expected series at the 2022 World Cup: they won the group with Ghana (3-2), Uruguay (2-0) and South Korea (1-2), then advanced to the round of 16 against Switzerland, only the score was unexpected, 6-1.
The striker of the Lisbon “Benfica” Gonzalo Ramos, who took a place in the first “11” of Cristiano Ronaldo, succeeded in the match of the “eighties” and made the first hat-trick of this World Cup.
Under these conditions, the big question is whether coach Fernando Santos will keep Gonzalo Ramos in the first team, or whether the legendary Cristiano Ronaldo, the only footballer in the world to score in five World Cup finals, will start.
The two teams have met in two World Cup finals, each time in the group stage, with Morocco winning 3-1 in 1986 (Mexico) and Portugal winning 1-0 in 2018 (Russia).
The winner of the Morocco-Portugal match will play the winner of the England-France match in the semi-finals, which is scheduled for Saturday, December 10, from 21:00 at the Al Beit Stadium in Al Khor.
