Morocco players celebrate after they won on penalty shoot-out the Qatar 2022 World Cup round of 16 football match between Morocco and Spain at the Education City Stadium in Al-Rayyan, west of Doha on December 6, 2022.
Three of the four Moroccan penalty executors -- Abdelhamid Sabiri, Hakim Ziyech and Achraf Hakimi -- did their job perfectly, while their goalkeeper Yassine Bounou blocked the opponents’ two shots and saw another hit the goalpost. Given the other quarterfinalists, Morocco is poised to challenge the hegemony of Europe and South America, which are home to world-football superpowers.

The Spanish defense, led by Manchester City duo Rodri and Aymeric Laporte, was too strong a fortress for Ziyech and teammates to penetrate. Even so, they still managed to create some clear-cut opportunities by means of long crosses and passes.Morocco produced five shots to the goal, two of which were on target. Their best chance came in the 103rd minute when substitute-striker Walid Cheddira broke into the Spanish box, but his shot from a close range was snuffed out by goalkeeper Unai Simon.
