Cristiano Ronaldo’s prospects of ever winning soccer’s top prize were probably ended. When Morocco defeated Portugal 1-0 to become the first African nation to advance to the World Cup semifinals.
To continue Morocco’s incredible run that has inspired.
An outpouring of patriotism in the Arab world during the first World Cup to be held in the Middle East.
Youssef En-Nesyri scored the game-winning goal. In the 42nd minute.One of soccer’s greatest players. 37-year-old Ronaldo.Squandered. An opportunity. To tie the score in stoppage time.
After starting the game without a goal for the second straight time.The five-time world player of the year is expected to retire without ever winning the World Cup. Or making it to the championship game.
After the final horn. He immediately left the field and was in tears. As he made his way down the tunnel.In the semifinal match.
Morocco will take on either France or England.
An African nation finally reaching the World Cup stages. Which are usually exclusively attained by European or South American teams.

Evidently, the only goal that Morocco’s defence has conceded at this year’s World Cup is an own goal. And it stifled a Portugal team that defeated Switzerland 6-1 in the round of 16 to advance.
The team almost solely depended on counterattacks and scored from one of them in a match played to the constant whistles and jeers of Morocco’s fervent fans.
En-Nesyri leaped between Portugal goalkeeper Diogo Costa and defender Ruben Dias to head. A cross into the empty net after it was sent in from the left.

Despite his best efforts. He didn’t even manage to touch the ball. Until stoppage time. When he managed to slip by Morocco’s defenders. On a long pass forward. Goalkeeper Yassine Bounou stopped his low shot.
