Morocco have become the first African country to reach the semi-final of the World Cup after Youssef En-Nesyri’s first-half goal gave the victory over Portugal 1-0 on Saturday.
The Atlas Lions, had become not just the first African side, but also the first Arab one from a country with a Muslim majority, to reach the last four of the biggest competition in world football.
Morocco took a 42nd-minute lead through En-Nesyri’s header as they came on strongly late in the first period.
Cristiano Ronaldo has likely played his last World Cup match after making an appearance as a second-half substitute.
