Morocco defeated Spain on penalties this Tuesday in the round of 16 of the World Cup.
Pablo Sarabia, Carlos Soler and Sergio Busquets missed the first three maximum penalties that the Spanish players threw.
For Morocco, Abdelhamid Sabiri, Hakim Ziyech and Achraf Hakimi scored, and only Badr Benoun missed.
The game, which was very even, with more possession and chances for La Roja but with the Moroccan team trying to hunt a counterattack with space, went to penalties after a goalless draw in the first 120 minutes.
Unai Simón avoided the Moroccan goal in extra time with a great save from a point-blank shot from Cheddira.
In the last minute of the match, at minute 123, a Pablo Sarabia shot hit the right post of Bono's goal.
Also in the final stretch of the second part,
Luis Enrique's men managed to box the Moroccans in their own half, although they missed four goal chances: two shots from Dani Olmo that Bono, the Moroccan goalkeeper, cleared;
another by Álvaro Morata who went across, and a play by Morata himself and Nico Williams that disrupted Morocco's defense when the Athletic winger was preparing to place the ball into the net.
La Roja, with the defeat, still hasn't made it to the quarterfinals since 2010, when they were proclaimed world champions in South Africa.
The Moroccan team writes a new page in its history by reaching the quarterfinals of a World Cup for the first time.
In the next round they will play Portugal or Switzerland, who meet tonight at 8:00 p.m.
