Morocco vs Spain Highlights, Fifa World Cup Round of 16
After it finished 0-0 in 90 minutes and 120 minutes, the penalty shoot-out was dominated by the Moroccan goalkeeper as he did not let any Spanish player score out of the three attempts that were taken by Sarabia, Soler and Busquets. Yassine Bounou was the hero of the game as he saved all shots. Spain are the first big team to be knocked out of this World Cup in the Round of 16.

The Preview
Morocco, who drew against Croatia and shocked world number two Belgium on their way to the Round of 16, will have yet another European challenge in front of them when they take on Spain in a battle to move to the quarterfinal for the first time ever in their World Cup history.
If any Moroccan team would ever have been capable of beating Spain, it is this one. Having conceded only once, that too against Canada, the North African side will be pumped to show tremendous defence once again and learn from the Japanese who kept the Spanish strikers at bay.
On the other hand. Spain, having lost to Japan, which also worked as a blessing in disguise for them as they are facing Morocco instead of Croatia, would look to bounce back from the group stage defeat to Japan. The likes of Alvaro Morata, Pedri and Gavi and Ferran Torress would be eager to get amongst the goals and lead Spain to a quarterfinal for the first time since their World Cup-winning campaign of 2010.

Bounou, Hakimi, Aguerd, Saiss, Mazraoui, Ounahi, Amrabat, Amallah, Ziyech, En-Nesyri, Boufal
Formation: 4-3-3
