Morocco

, a country of migrants, is breaking out everywhere.

Also in the

Al Thumama Stadium

and in the streets of

Doha

while the wind waves the star of their flag.

The victory over

Belgium

, deservedly, inflames the self-esteem of their footballers and fans, who are the antithesis of

Roberto Martínez

's footballers .

Good manners with the ball are not lacking, nor are big names, but emotional sadness haunts them.

The victory with

Canada

keeps them alive, although to continue, this eternal generation called to great things will have to show proof of life against

Modric

's Croatia .

The defeat (0-2) points to

Courtois

in the foul that gave rise to the first goal and in which he made bad measurements.

Sabiri

's launch

, adjusted, did not allow him to rectify positionally.

Losing his position allowed a rival to gain it, which hindered his vision.

The action was not up to the best goalkeeper in the world, who has been in Madrid.

However, it was not an isolated play.

Morocco grew from the end of the first period, in which the VAR disallowed a goal by

Ziyech

, also directly after the free kick.

Belgium and their goalkeeper did something wrong on the set piece.

THE MOROCCAN SPEED

Thus ended a first half in which Roberto Martínez's men exercised a sterile dominance and that, in reality, suited the Moroccans.

The Maghrebi team does not have its best arguments in creation, but rather in speed, and in this way they asserted themselves, through Ziyech and

Achraf Hakimi

.

The Belgian possession had been, until the break, less dangerous than the Moroccan counter.

Back, nothing was the same.

Morocco raised their pressure, stepped on the Belgian field more and won the individual duels.

He played with a plan well laid out by his coach,

Walid Regragui

, and he played with his soul.

"This is a World Cup, it's life or death," said the coach.

Life is your prize.

Regragui squeezed Achraf Hakimi for an hour, despite being touched, and the PSG player was able to put Morocco ahead on an arrival in the area.

The shot from him went over the crossbar.


On the right, Achraf Hakimi formed with Ziyech, the game's differential footballer.

In the second goal, he received a long send from the goalkeeper

Munir Mohamedi

, as

Bono

did not finally jump onto the pitch after feeling dizzy during the anthems, and he controlled the run to throw back, where

Aboukhlal

arrived .

This time Courtois could barely show his hand.

ROBERTO MARTÍNEZ, NO SOLUTION

Roberto Martínez saw what he wanted initially, due to the control exercised by Belgium, but he did not know how to react to the growth of the Moroccans.

The Lukaku resource did not work either.

The Spanish coach was surpassed in everything by his Moroccan counterpart, who knew which match was best for his players at all times.

They all come out of the meeting badly, not only Courtois.

This is the case of

Eden Hazard

or

De Bruyne

himself .

The first, in the Valdebebas dry dock, wanted this World Cup to return him to better times, waiting, perhaps, for a departure from

Madrid

.

At 31, it may be the last outing.

Roberto Martínez has never wavered despite his situation and, against Morocco, he started again in an eleven that also included his brother,

Thorgan

.

He tried his overflow and diagonals to the center, but nothing.

Very marked and very slow, he only left one shot.

Belgium has one left to be in the round of 16 or go home.
