The national team of Morocco defeated the team of Portugal in the match of the 1/4 finals of the 2022 FIFA World Cup. The match at the "El-Tummama" stadium in Doha ended with a score of 1:0.





The first half unexpectedly remained for the Africans. The Moroccans opened the score before the break - in the 42nd minute, Youssef En Nesiri jumped the highest after a cross from the left wing and headed the ball into the goal from close range.

The wards of Fernando Santos could immediately restore parity - Bruno Fernandes hit the upper frame of the goal from the right wing.

In the second half, the Portuguese went on the attack with great strength. In the 64th minute, Bruno Fernandes had a great opportunity, but after his shot from the line of the penalty area, the ball flew over the crossbar.

In the 82nd minute, Joao Felish threatened the Moroccans' goal. He beat Cristiano Ronaldo, who came on as a substitute at the beginning of the second half, and shot from the edge of the penalty area. But the Africans were saved by goalkeeper Yassin Bounu, who made a magnificent save and pulled the ball out from under the crossbar.

In the semi-finals, the Moroccan national team will meet the winner of the match between England and France, which will also take place on December 10.
