Morocco became the first African nation to reach a World Cup semi-final and ended the hopes of Cristiano Ronaldo's Portugal. Striker Youssef En-Nesyri scored the winning goal in the first half, leaping highest to beat goalkeeper Diogo Costa to the ball and heading in to spark pandemonium at Al Thumama Stadium The north African side's supporters populated most of the venue and joyously celebrated their breakthrough moment for their continent on the global stage. Ronaldo came off the bench in the 50th minute to equal the men's all-time appearance record of 196 in international matches, but he could not drag his side back into the contest. Morocco were happy to play on the counter and grabbed the opener just before the break when En-Nesyri headed in from Yahya Attiyat-Allah's cross. Portugal skipper Bruno Fernandes came agonisingly close to levelling just minutes later but a brilliant individual effort struck the crossbar. Decimated by injuries, Morocco sat back for the majority of the second half and Yassine Bounou brilliantly tipped over Joao Felix's drive - the closest they came to an equaliser. Morocco striker Walid Cheddira was sent off for a second yellow card in eight minutes of additional time but Portugal could not find the equaliser as their last-four hopes were dashed. CONGRATULATIONS MOROCCO. CONGRATULATIONS AFRICA. Yuneehk:Yes, we are darling tolue42:And we just got to see they have only conceded just ONE goal in 5 games......(an own goal!) 68 Likes 9 Shares

Morocco don lose most of their key players down the road. Semi and 3rd place go hard them to score but it's not impossible to lift the trophy. Congratulations to Morocco for going this far. First African team to reach the semi-finals of the world cup. History safe! Peter Obi's presidency will bring back fortune and REAL commitment to the Nigerian Super Eagle to go this far... 208 Likes 17 Shares |

Year 2028: Argentina Portugal Conversation between a 9-year old and his father Son: "Dad, what's the name of the guy captaining Argentina? Gosh, he's so good!" Dad: "That's Lautaro Martinez." Son: "Daaaad, look! That man in red, he's so damn good as well! What's his name?" Dad: "That's Joao Felix, he's the captain of the Portuguese team." Son: "Wow dad, these two are like the best players I have ever seen! Is there anyone who is even nearly as good as them?" Dad: (gets a little emotional, and then replies with a smile): "You still don't know something, my son. Let me tell you a story about two guys..." 164 Likes 21 Shares

Belgium, Spain and Portugal fell to the morrocans. That game was WOW! 4 records created: 1) The first African team to qualify to the semi final of the world cup. 2) The first African team to win a knock out game in 90 minutes. 3) The first African team to win a knockout game with 10 men. 4) The first African team not to concede a goal in 5 matches France and England will be on their toes now. 51 Likes 7 Shares |
