Morocco heads to quarter finals, eliminating Spain on penalties

After beating Spain in the last 16 of Qatar FIFA 2022 World Cup, Morocco have become the first Arab country to reach the last 8 in the global championship.

The historic victory came after the Atlas Lions defeated Spain 3 – 0 on penalties folowing a heroic performance that will remain indelible in the annals of Arab football history.

After a remarkably tight 120 minutes, the Moroccan cruised into the last 8 with Achraf Hakimi hitting the game-winning penalty with a lavish Panenka.
