Morocco's upset of heavily-favored Portugal headlined Saturday's quarterfinal action at the World Cup in Qatar. Here's a complete rundown of Saturday's action.
Morocco, the only squad left in the tournament not ranked in the top 15 by FIFA, was clinical in the counterattack and had nine shots on goal — and the only goal of the game — despite losing the possession battle 73% to 27%. It also held Portugal scoreless. Morocco has only allowed one goal all tournament — an own goal against Canada in the group stage.
As for Portugal, it will look to the future, one that likely won't include its legendary striker. By the time the 2026 World Cup rolls around, Ronaldo will be 41. England had a golden opportunity to send the game to extra time with its second penalty kick of the night, butwho has scored more penalty kicks than anyone in World Cup history and now more goals than anyone in England's history, sailed his attempt over his Tottenham teammate, goalie Hugo Lloris.
