Morocco booked a date with Portugal in the 2022 FIFA World Cup in the quarter finals following a shock win on penalties against giants Spain. Morocco became the first Arab nation to reach the quarter-finals of the World Cup after defeating Spain 3-0 on penalties.
The Atlas Lions advanced past Spain in a thrilling penalty shootout win. Morocco goalkeeper Yassine Bounou didn’t allow a single shot into the net and the team will move on to face the winner of Portugal vs. Switzerland.
Portugal climbed the list of favourites to win the World Cup after a dominant showing against Switzerland. Portugal coach Fernando Santos made the massive decision to bench Cristiano Ronaldo and his team responded by pouncing on Switzerland in a 6-1 rout to advance to the quarterfinals. Ronaldo’s replacement, 21-year-old Gonçalo Ramos, scored a hat trick to make Santos’ decision look brilliant in hindsight.
Team news
Portugal head coach Fernando Santos made the bold decision to drop Cristiano Ronaldo for his side’s round of 16 clash with Switzerland at the 2022 World Cup on Tuesday. Instead, he turned to the 21-year-old Benfica forward Goncalo Ramos
Ramos stepped up and grabbed his first hattrick for Portugal and could still lead the attack against Morocco on Saturday.
Match facts
Morocco are undefeated in their last 5 matches of the FIFA World Cup.
Morocco and Portugal have faced each other just twice in international football, with both fixtures having come at previous World Cups.
In 1986, a 3-1 win for Morocco ensured they progressed from the group stages at Portugal’s expense, though their campaign only went as far as the Round of 16.
The two teams were again drawn together in the 2018 World Cup group stages, where a fourth-minute Ronaldo goal secured a 1-0 win for Portugal.
Verdict
Morocco might have shocked the world after eliminating Spain but Portugal will prove to be a tough side that creates and takes chances.
We are backing Portugal to go past Morocco and make it to the semis of the ongoing World Cup.
