In the round of 16 of this World Cup, the teams most expected to win won, but Morocco was the only team that broke many people's expectations.
After a penalty shootout, they defeated favorites Spain and advanced to the World Cup quarterfinals for the first time ever.

Spain led the game with an overwhelming possession of 73% and exchanged 1,000 passes, three times more than Morocco, but was blocked by a solid defense wall and spent the extra time in vain.
Rather, Morocco's counterattack had to overcome the risk of conceding a few dizzying runs.
Shortly before the end of extra time, Spain's Sarabia's shot hit the post and went into a penalty shootout.
And then Spain's penalty shoot-out nightmare began.
Spain's number 1 kicker Sarabia's kick hit the post and bounced off the post, number 2 kicker Soler kicked the right and number 3 kicker Busquez kicked the left, but Morocco's goalkeeper Yassin Bunu's brilliant save prevented them from scoring a single goal.
On the other hand, Morocco's 1st, 2nd and 4th kickers calmly scored goals and produced the biggest surprise without even going to the 5th kicker.
Morocco, ranked 22nd in the FIFA rankings, defeated 7th ranked Spain to advance to the quarterfinals for the first time in 52 years of World Cup appearances.
[Yasin Bunu/Morocco soccer team goalkeeper: As you can imagine, as a goalkeeper, I focused on the situation and didn't feel anything.
But fortunately, everything went well.]
A frenzied festival unfolded throughout Morocco, and Moroccans living in France, Germany, and Paris went beyond the festival and cheered at the level of a riot, and the police were dispatched.
On the other hand, Spain suffered its fourth penalty shootout defeat, the most ever in World Cup history, and suffered a second consecutive penalty shootout nightmare following the last tournament and knelt down in the round of 16.
