On Saturday, Morocco beat Portugal 1-0 in the quarter-finals of the 2022 World Cup. In the semifinals of the tournament, the Moroccans will play with the French team.

– The Moroccan team’s entry into the semi-finals of the World Cup is a surprise for me. Their game and reaching the semi-finals is an incredible achievement in Moroccan football that will go down in history. I think they deserved it. Especially showed this game with the Portuguese. They didn’t let them raise their heads. The defense worked very well, but there was no deaf defense. They counterattacked all the time. Well done! The Moroccan team is the opening of the 2022 World Cup, – quotes the words of Smorodskaya “Championship”.
