Morocco become the first Arab nation to reach the semi-final stage of the World Cup
There has been a massive celebration on various social media platforms after Morocco's historic victory in the quarter-finals of the ongoing 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
Youssef En Nesyri's 42nd-minute strike in the first half was all that the Atlas Lions of Morocco needed to beat Cristiano Ronaldo's Portugal in the quarter-final clash on Saturday, December 10, 2022, at
This victory makes Morocco the first African country to ever reach the World Cup semi-finals, following several failed and painful attempts from the Indomitable Lions of Cameroon, Terenga Lions of Senegal, and the Black Stars of Ghana in 1990, 2002, and 2010 respectively.
Goalkeeper Bono was the star man again for the Moroccans after making four fantastic saves to deny the Portuguese from getting back in the game as he was their savior in the knockout stage penalties against Spain.
Morocco have just conceded only one goal (own-goal) in the ongoing 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar and they will meet the winner of the game between England and France in the semi-finals.
Below are some of the reactions on social media to Morocco's FIFA World Cup victory.
I just love how after every big Morocco ???????? win at #FIFAWorldCup
Achraf Hakimi goes to his mum in the stands each time to share the moment with her.
Clearly The coach of Morocco was given the free hand to do his job. The FA supported him in bringing back every player he requested for. Amrabat plays with Duncan at Fiorentina. Amrabat walks into the Morocco team and Duncan struggles to get called into thr BS. Wicked people.
