World Cup 2022, Portugal vs Morocco: Everything you need to know (AS English)

Morocco will try to keep their dreams alive as they head into a tough matchup against Portugal in the World Cup quarterfinals on Saturday.

With Morocco being such a tough team to score against, Portugal will need a sharp shooter like Ramos in the lineup. With 12 goals and three wins over their four games, Portugal is a force to be reckoned with. Meanwhile, Ronaldo has scored just one goal in the group stage from the penalty spot. Morocco has made an improbable underdog run to the quarterfinals, topping their group in the first stage and then beating Spain on penalties in the Round of 16, reaching the quarterfinals for the first time in nation’s history. The Atlas Lions’ last appearance in the Round of 16 was in 1986. Portugal also topped their group before breezing past Switzerland 6-1 in the Round of 16 in a showing that would make any opponent nervous-sweat.

They should have every chance of doing that against a Portuguese side that is probably being overvalued after their terrific victory against Switzerland. Morocco’s defensive prowess and ability to strike quickly on the counter or on set pieces through Hakim Ziyech are what makes them such dangerous underdogs. This is a tough team to unlock. Before the tournament, there were plenty of legitimate questions to ask of Portugal. The game is set to start at 10 a.m. With or without their mercurial superstar, Portugal is a big favorite to advance past the tournament’s Cinderella, Morocco.

The Arab world’s standard bearer, Morocco is in the quarterfinals on merit, too. Amrabat said he played with a back injury requiring painkilling injections in the match against Spain, during which captain Romain Saiss finished the game with his leg bandaged up after treatment and fellow center back Nayef Aguerd hobbled off in tears with an apparent thigh injury. As for Morocco, the nation is in uncharted territory after becoming only the fourth African country to reach the quarterfinals at soccer’s biggest tournament, after Cameroon (1990), Senegal (2002) and Ghana (2010). Portugal is at this stage for only the third time, perhaps surprising given the talent to have come from the country down the years.

The FIFA World Cup's last remaining giant-killers, Morocco, face former European champions Portugal for a place in the final four.

Portugal may not get the room to build their attack against a compact Morocco side, and they will want to avoid being dragged into a grinding match where they are unable to create clear-cut chances. Portugal ran riot over a poor Switzerland side, with four different goalscorers getting in on the action and a lot of attacking success that can be attributed to Joao Felix. Sofyan Amrabat has been imperious in the midfield, chasing down every pass like his life depended on it and will be crucial to disrupting any attack Portugal hope to build.

Morocco's World Cup fairy tale continues with Portugal win (ESPN)

Morocco were huge underdogs ahead of their game vs. Portugal but became the first African side to advance to the World Cup semifinals.

- Portugal are 1-7-0 (W-L-D) when trailing at half-time at the World Cup. Morocco: Incredibly, a World Cup semifinal against England or France is next on the agenda at the Al Bayt Stadium on Wednesday at 10 p.m. - En-Nesyri's goal was the second headed goal ever scored by Morocco in World Cup history. - Entering the match, Morocco were on a nine-match unbeaten streak in all competitions: the second-longest among teams still in the World Cup. Eight different players have scored for Fernando Santos' team at the World Cup and it was the wrong moment for almost all of them to have an off day. [Youssef En-Nesyri](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/242736/Youssef-En-Nesyri) got the only goal in a dramatic 1-0 win at Al Thumama and denied Portugal what would have been a place in the last four for the first time for 16 years. If this is the last we see of one of history's great players on this stage then it was a very meek way to bow out. We fought for each ball and we are very happy with the win, and it's very important for us and for the future."

[Bruno Fernandes](http://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/124091/Bruno-Fernandes) almost equalised moments later when he produced an audacious half volley which rattled the crossbar, before Morocco spurned a great chance to go further ahead when Attiat-Allah skewed a shot wide after a fine counter-attack. [Walid Cheddira](http://www.espn.com/football/player/_/id/292241/Walid-Cheddira) was sent off for two yellow cards in quick succession while [Pepe](http://www.espn.com/football/player/_/id/52767/pepe) headed wide in the dying stages, but Regragui's side held on for another memorable victory following their round-of-16 win against [Spain](/football/team/_/id/164/spain). [Kuwait](/football/team/_/id/841/kuwait)'s [Bader al-Mutawa](http://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/150911/Bader-Al-Mutawa) in the process -- but he failed to make an impact. [Yassine Bounou](http://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/175149/Yassine-Bounou) produced a fingertip save to turn a driving shot from [Joao Felix](http://www.espn.com/football/player/_/id/276350/joao-felix) over the bar in the 83rd minute and was also called upon to stop an effort from Ronaldo in stoppage time. [Morocco](/football/team?id=2869) became the first African nation to reach a World Cup semifinal as they stunned [Portugal](/football/team?id=482) with a 1-0 win thanks to a [Youssef En-Nesyri](http://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/242736/Youssef-En-Nesyri) header. [Cristiano Ronaldo](http://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/22774/Cristiano-Ronaldo) again as he started on the bench for the second successive game, having been left out of Portugal's starting lineup for their round-of-16 win against [Switzerland](/football/team?id=475).
