The bump was given. Morocco eliminated Spain on penalties following a hard fight for 120 minutes and is a quarterfinalist in the World Cup.
In the first period the ‘Red Fury’ had control of the ball, but the Africans were more incisive and registered the clearest arrivals to break the zero.
Achraf Hakimi with a free kick just high (11′), a strong shot from Noussair Mazraoui (33′) and a high header from Nayef Aguerd (42′) in a comfortable position, were the warnings from the Moroccans.
Those of Luis Enrique, meanwhile, were left in debt and only added one complete finish: a shot from Asensio that hit the side of the goal defended by Bono (26 ‘).
In the complement, the ‘Lions of the Atlas’ began to feel tired and lost clarity to reach the portico of Unai Simón with danger.
The planetary monarchs in 2010, meanwhile, moved and moved the ball from one side to the other, but without the depth to add chances of real danger. It wasn’t until around 80′ that they began to disturb us more thoroughly.
At 79′ a dangerous cross from Nico Williams from the right was close to being connected by Álvaro Morata. Providentially cleared Nayef Aguerd.
After a cardboard, at 82 ‘, Morata appeared inside the area following a filtered pass and shot almost without an angle, near Bono’s goal.
The most recent precedent in World Cups between Spain and Morocco was the 2-2 draw in the group stage of Russia 2018.
The winner of this key will collide for the passage to the semifinals of Qatar 2022 with whoever emerges unscathed from the duel between Portugal and Switzerland.
