Qatar 2022: Morocco is the first African country to reach the World Cup semifinals

Saturday, Morocco beat Portugal 1-0 to become the first team to move on to the World Cup semifinals.

Former European champions came within a whisker of taking the lead, but Joao Felix was denied by a brilliant save from Yassine Bounou.

Youssef En-Nesyri then gave the Atlas Lions the lead.

To head past a stranded Diogo Costa, the Sevilla attacker rose to his highest point.
