Morocco vs spain

Fans tuning in to Morocco vs. Spain in the Round of 16 of the 2022 World Cup may have needed a moment to calibrate their senses. Spain, a side that is traditionally clad in deep red with yellow trim, took on their African opponents in a huge World Cup knockout match. Yet when the teams took the field, the side in deep red was the wrong one. Instead, Morocco entered play in their home kit, a deep red look with white trim and green shorts. The other side, Spain, wore a blue kit with black trim and white shorts. It was a confusing disparity that left many wondering who was who. So why did Spain, the 2010 winners of the FIFA World Cup, have to change from their classic colors?

Yassine Bounou stopped three Spain penalties after making just one save over 120 minutes of Morocco’s 0-0 (3-0 pens) win in the World Cup Round of 16 on Tuesday at Education City Stadium in Al Rayyan. Achraf Hakimi sealed the penalties when he joined Abdelhamid Sabiri and Hakim Ziyech in converting his chance — Unai Simon did stop Badr Banoune’s attempt — and Morocco sealed a place in the quarterfinals versus the winner of Portugal vs Switzerland.

AL RAYYAN, Qatar— Morocco’s players stood at attention for the country’s national anthem before Tuesday’s It wasn’t an act of protest, it’s just that the anthem wasn’t entirely theirs because eight of Morocco’s 11 starters were born somewhere other than Morocco. But they will have another four days to learn the song after upsetting Spain on penalty kicks following 120 scoreless minutes, becoming the first African team since 2010 to reach the World Cup quarterfinals. “When you’re in the thick of it, you really can’t realize what you just achieved,” goalkeeper Yassine Bounou said. “We have to stay focused. Maybe in time we will realize what we achieved.” Here’s a little of what Morocco, the surprise team of this World Cup, has achieved: It has shut out Belgium and Croatia — both top-three finishers in the last World Cup — in the first round to become the first African team this century to win its group. It has gone 390 minutes without allowing its opponents to score, the only goal conceded coming on an own goal. And it capped that off Tuesday by withstanding a relentless assault from a Spanish team that had the ball nearly 80% of the game, took more than twice as many shots and completed more than four times as many passes. Yet the ball never wound up in the back of the net, not even in penalty kicks, making Morocco the first African nation to advance in the World Cup on penalties. “You know when you have a goalkeeper like we have, you have a chance to go through,” said Wali...
