Another football miracle has created an amazing Moroccoin a match held at the Al-Tumama Stadium in Doha, in the presence of 45,000 spectators, and continues on his way to … heaven.
Today he won 1-0 Portugal and advanced to the semi-finals world Cup Qatar, for the first time in its history, where the winner of the England-France match for reaching the grand final of the competition will be waiting!
The unlikely side of Vahid Retragi, having eliminated Spain from the quarter-finals, also defeated Portugal today, who resumed the match without Cristiano Ronaldo.
The Moroccans sent the ball into the net with En Nesiri’s incredible goal in the 42nd minute and managed to hold onto a big win and a historic qualifying despite struggling without key defensive players and in the final minutes of extra time with ten players due to the suspension of Sentira.
The Moroccans, who competed without two key defensive players, Agerd and Mazraoui, and also lost Sais to injury, were the first Arab nation to reach the World Cup quarter-finals before the match and the fourth African team to reach the final. “8” after Cameroon (1990), Senegal (2002) and Ghana (2010).
In the first 20 minutes, Fernando Santos’s team had the initiative of the movements, and in the 5th minute they had their first good moment, when Felix headed from the penalty area, Bono pushed hard into the corner.
Immediately afterwards, En Nesiri won the first header in the opponent’s penalty area, while the ball flew right over Diogo Costa’s goal. This was his first warning of the Portuguese defence.
In the 26th minute, Morocco had a new opportunity with En Nesiri’s second header after a foul as the ball went wide. Second warning from Sevilla striker Pepe and Ruben Diaz.
On 31′ Felix struck very nicely, the ball went into the gates of El-Yamika and went to the corner. Somewhere there, Morocco stopped waiting behind the shelter and began to gain yards towards the opponent.
In fact, in the 35th minute, he had a great chance when, after a beautiful turn from Atia-Ala, Amalach landed a botched shot in traffic across the square.
Bad exit from Diogo Costa and incredible jump from En Nesiri
In the 42nd minute, the stadium caught fire with a third and “poisonous” header from En Nesiri, who took advantage of Diogo Costa’s bad exit to beat Díaz in the air with an incredible headbutt and put the team ahead in wild festivities with an incredible accurate header. In Bruno Fernandes’ 45-foot cross, the ball came to rest on Bono’s crossbar.
Early in the restart, Morocco came close to scoring when Ziyech took a free kick, none of his teammates could find the ball, and Diogo Costa saved.
From that moment on, Portugal completely controlled the course of the match and besieged the opponent’s defense. In the 64th minute, Bruno Fernandez with a powerful blow at the edge of the penalty area, the ball slides off the gates of the hosts.
The Portuguese continued to choke the opponent’s defense, which, in addition to Agger, was also left without its captain Romain Saissa, who remained injured.
Despite these losses, the Moroccan defense managed to withstand the onslaught of the Portuguese. In addition to the heroic efforts of the defenders, Bono also showed himself when, in the 83rd minute, he unexpectedly parried a diagonal shot from Felix.
It should be noted that the two teams met each other twice at the World Cup. In 1986, Morocco won the group stage 3-1, and four years ago in Russia, Cristiano Ronaldo’s goal gave the Portuguese a 1-0 group victory.
The referee of the match was Facundo Tejo from Argentina, who showed a yellow card to Dari – Bitinia.
