This year’s World Cup is called the most uneventful World Cup. The teams that are out of the list of favorites are playing. On the other hand, several teams hoping for the title have been eliminated from the group stage. The names of Germany and Belgium are also coming up. Another hot favorite, Spain, was eliminated from the second round after losing to Morocco.
On Tuesday night, many thought that strong Spain would go to the quarter-finals with an easy win. But in what was hard to predict before the game, Luis Enrique’s men were superbly thwarted by Morocco. Not only did he not score a goal, but Yasin Bouno made the Spaniards suffer in the penalty shootout.
However, Sergio Busquets dominated the entire match. Spain played 1019 passes while keeping 77% possession. But football is a game of goals, at the end of the day a goal is the last laugh for anyone. However, the Spaniards failed to do the work despite dominating the whole field.
Spain could not score a goal in the match, even in the penalty shootout, Spain could not find Morocco’s net. The first ball hits the bar. Moroccan goalkeeper Bouno stopped the remaining two balls. He made a fool of Busquets with his great intelligence. And that’s the first time Morocco achieved the achievement of playing in the quarter-finals of the World Cup.
On the other hand, Spanish coach Enrique said before the Morocco match that his team has prepared by practicing 1000 penalties. But the performance of the field, what will he answer now? That question remains. However, Spain was caught in the game of ticking? These tactics are also subject to strong criticism.
The quarter finals will start on December 9. Brazil will face Croatia at 9 pm. On the other hand, Argentina will face the Netherlands at 1 pm on the 9th. A day after that, on December 10 at 9 pm, Morocco will face Portugal in the quarter-finals Also, England – France will face each other in the second match of the quarter-finals on December 10 at 1 pm. It remains to be seen which four teams will go to the semi-finals.
