Morocco vs Portugal, FIFA WC 2022 Highlights: MAR beat POR 1-0, first African team to reach WC semifinal
Morocco vs Portugal FIFA World Cup 2022 Highlights: Cristiano Ronaldo’s quest for a World Cup title ended with a 1-0 loss as Morocco extraordinarily became the first African nation to reach the semi-finals of the tournament.
Cristiano Ronaldo was brought on early in the second half after Morocco scored in late in the first but Portugal have been unable to find a way past them. Morocco are yet to allow an opposition player to score a goal against them in this tournament, with the only goal they have conceded so far being an own goal and Portugal are now desperately trying to break that run to avoid getting knocked out.
Morocco vs Portugal Live score: A extraordinary result
Ronaldo has stormed off the pitch, he seemed to breaking out into tears even before he reached the touchline. This is surely the last time we see him in the World Cup or, indeed, in a Portugal shirt. The Moroccans are dancing on the ground and some have their families with them as well. What a tournament this has been for them. That’s it from here but do stay tuned for the second match of the day between England and France. Ciao!
Morocco become the first African team to reach the semi-finals of the World Cup. Portugal are out. Cristiano Ronaldo, Bruno Fernandes, Bernardo Silva, Pepe, Ruben Neves, Diogo Dalot; all knocked out. It is Morocco, the extraordinary Morocco who have still not let an opposition score against them in this World Cup, who reach the semi-finals. Ghana had come within inches of the semis spot back in 2010 but couldn’t quite break the glass ceiling for African nations. Now, Morocco have broken it and how. The teams that have failed to beat them are as follows: 2018 runners-up Croatia (0-0), FIFA World No.2 Belgium (lose 2-0), new boys Canada (lose 2-1), 2010 champions and footbal royalty Spain (0-0, lose on penalties) and now 2016 European champions Portugal.
