🏆 👉 We are seeing one of the biggest flops. Spain eliminated because Morocco win the FIFA World Cup Round of 16 on penalty shootouts on Tuesday 6 December 2022 at the Education City Stadium in Al Rayyan, Qatar. Great merit for Morocco becoming the first African national team to win on penalties at the World Cup, played for only the second time by an African team (previously Ghana-Uruguay 2-4 in 2010). The penultimate eighth between Morocco and Spain ends 3-0 on penalties (after 0-0 on the pitch). Walid Regragui’s team arrives in the quarter-finals of Qatar 2022. The absolute protagonists are Bounou, impeccable between the posts in this match, and Achraf Hakimi, who transforms the decisive penalty with his spoon, driving crazy not only the many fans at Education City, but an entire nation that can now celebrate a historic milestone.
Second World Cup meeting between Morocco and Spain – in the first, in the group stage in 2018, Morocco went ahead twice before equalizing 2-2 through a last-minute goal from Iago Aspas. Spain are unbeaten in the previous three against Morocco (W2, D1). The two successes both came in the qualifying playoff for the 1962 World Cup in November 1961 (1-0 away, 3-2 at home).
Italian Serie A players called up in this game
🇲🇦 Morocco: Sofyan Amrabat (Fiorentina) played all 90 minutes
Abdelhamid Sabiri (Sampdoria) played all game and converted a penalty in the 120th minute
Walid Cheddira (Bari) played from the 82nd minute after replacing Selim Amallah
✅ Stats before the game. Spain were eliminated in the last 16 of the 2018 World Cup, losing on penalties to hosts Russia after a 1-1 draw. The last time he got through this heat was in 2010 when he went on to take the trophy. Morocco have qualified for the knockout stages of a World Cup for only the second time, the first time in 1986 being defeated 0-1 by Germany. Spain will face an African national team at the World Cup in the knockout stage for the first time, having met them in the groups five times (W3 D1 L1). The only African national capable of beating Spain was Nigeria in 1998 (3-2), a match in which the current Spain coach played in the starting lineup. Morocco are unbeaten in four matches at the World Cup (W2, D2). The only African national team capable of avoiding defeat in the World Cup for five matches in a row was Cameroon (W2, D3 between 1982 and 1990).
