Morocco have reached the quarter-finals of a FIFA World Cup tournament for the first time in the history of the country.

The North Africans are living a dream at the mundial in Qatar after upsetting the odds in the group stage to advance to the Round 16 stage.

Today, Morocco faced a daunting task when the Atlas Lions locked horns with Spain to fight for qualification to the quarter-final stage.

In the game that both teams put up a spirited performance throughout the 90 minutes, neither side could score in 90 minutes.

Subsequently, the match travelled into extra time for a chance for the two sides to try and find a goal to decide the game.

With no goals in 30 minutes, it all came down to the penalty shootout to settle the contest.

Unfortunately, for Spain, none of the three players that had the chance to play managed to score.

With Morocco scoring three out of four kicks, the Atlas Lions are celebrating another massive win at the 2022 FIFA World Cup that is sending the side to the quarter-finals of the tournament.

This is the first time Morocco have reached the last 8 stage of a FIFA World Cup tournament.
