Morocco vs Portugal Highlights, Quarterfinal Fifa World Cup Full Time Morocco, riding on the 42nd-minute goal of Youssef En- Nasyri, defended to the core and did not let Portugal score, the team which scored six goals in their Round of 16 match against Switzerland.
Thanks to this gritty defence, the North African side won the game 1-0 even while being down to 10 men in the last five minutes of the injury time.
Courtesy of this win, the Atlas Tigers have become the first group from Africa and the Arab world combined to reach the semi-finals of a Fifa World Cup. They will now play the winners of the England vs France clash later tonight.
The Preview The quarterfinal situation in the Fifa World Cup has high stakes on offer and Morocco who have qualified for the first time, are aware of the risks that they would have to take against a strong team like Portugal to create history by becoming the first African team to get through to the semi-final.
Portugal on the other hand would have to be wary of the threat that Morocco and their fearless football bring to the table. The problem of Cristiano Ronaldo and his on-the-bench and off-the-bench tactics are proving to be too much for the Portuguese crowd to think of.
With all these things in the mind of the players and the coaches, to be able to focus only on the game would be very difficult.
