In a twist, Morocco, with a splendid match, deservedly beats Belgium 2-0 and takes the lead of group F. Belgium will now have to face the play-off for qualification against Croatia, runners-up to the world.
The performance of Martinez's team was disappointing, as it almost never managed to put the attentive Moroccan defense in difficulty.
A Belgium that gradually failed to maintain the necessary game to overcome today's talented Morocco.
This afternoon, at Thumama Stadium, we witnessed a rather emotional first half.
At least until the 18th minute, the Belgian team tried to manage the ball across the pitch and besiege Morocco.
In the first half hour of the game the match does not stop.
Then we see some game inventions from both teams but without concluding.
And we arrive at 45+1 in added time when Morocco sinks and takes the lead with Ziyech who takes a free-kick from the right, but Courtois was disturbed by Saiss' offside.
Goal disallowed after VAR for offside.
Halftime 0-0.
The second half begins and Belgium increases the pace of their offensive plays.
Martinez's team wants to unlock the race immediately.
He wants to win.
And instead in the 72nd minute Morocco scored again with a goal from Sabiri, to the great joy of the Sampdoria fans, who kicked directly on goal from a free-kick from the left wing near the flag.
The shot misleads the Belgian goalkeeper who stretches out but is unable to prevent the ball from going into the net.
A nightmare match for Belgium and he never managed to put the "Lions of the Atlas" in difficulty.
Around the 80th minute Lukaku enters the field, in a Belgian attempt to turn the match around.
But the final word comes from Aboukhlal who, with an assist from Ziyech in the third minute of stoppage time of the second half, scores the second goal.
Belgium-Morocco 0-2.
After Argentina and Germany, it's the third knockout of Belgium, one of the favorite teams, who pays his terms.
In the final Martinez's team tries to raise their heads but the verdict is now written.
