Morocco beat Portugal, first African team to reach WC semifinal

The second day of the World Cup quarterfinals got off to a roaring start Saturday with Morocco ousting Portugal from the tournament in a 1-0 win.

The difference in the game was a rising header from Youssef En-Nesyri just before halftime as Portugal simply couldn’t break through the Morocco defense for an equalizer.

Morocco is Africa’s first-ever World Cup semifinalist and it’ll advance to take on the winner of England-France next Wednesday.
