Morocco have stunned Portugal at the quarterfinals and become the first African team to reach the semi finals of the World Cup.

The Atlas Lions of Morocco beat Portugal 1 nil to advance to the next stage with renowned footballer Cristiano Ronaldo bowing out of the tournament in years.

Youseff En-Nesyri’s header in the 42 minutes of the quarter-final game was the lone goal that eliminated Bruno Fernandes’ dreams at the Qatar World Cup.
