Morocco shot-stopper Yassine Bouno has expressed his excitement after helping his side stunned Spain 3-0 in a shootout after a goalless draw to reach the World Cup quarter-finals.
The two teams couldn't be separated after 120 minutes and Spain failed to convert any of their three penalties, with goalkeeper Bounou brilliantly saving two.
That left Hakimi to win it for the North Africans with his nerveless spot-kick and spark jubilant scenes in the stands at the Education City Stadium.
"I'm so happy for the team -- they did a great job all through the game," Bounou told beIN Sports.
"We understood (how to play) the game from the start, so I'm so happy for this win."
Morocco are the last African side following the exit of African champions Senegal, Ghana, Tunisia and Cameroon.
Coach Walid Regragui's side are also only remaining Arab team left in the tournament and will face Portugal in the quarterfinals in Qatar.
