Morocco defeated Belgium with a free kick in the 28th minute of the second half.



From the right side of the Belgian goal, Sabiri shook the net with an exquisite kick that bounced one-bound in front of the goal.



World-class goalkeeper Courtois was also unable to use his hands.



Belgium started an all-out war, including Lukaku, the leading goal scorer with a hamstring injury, but Morocco played a trick on the defense with a quick counterattack in the second half of extra time and drove a wedge.



Morocco, who drew with Croatia, the runner-up of the previous tournament, and defeated Belgium, second in the FIFA rankings, 2-0 in the first match, increased their chances of advancing to the round of 16 by winning the World Cup finals for the first time in 24 years.



[Abdelhamid Sabiri/Morocco national team midfielder: It was really exciting to play in the World Cup, in this stadium, in front of the fans.

Besides, I am even more happy that I scored the first goal.]



Enthusiastic cheers from Moroccan fans continued on and off the pitch.



[Moroccan fan: I'm really happy.

Morocco deserves to win.

The players are really the best.

Long live Morocco!]



In the midst of this, some victorious Moroccan fans rioted in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, and Brussels, Belgium.



Riots erupted, with fans setting cars on fire and smashing shop windows, which police responded with water cannons and tear gas.
