Key Event
Yesterday it was Croatia’s goalie, today it’s Morocco’s who gets to be the hero for his country.
Yassine Bounou was not scored on once in the penalty shootout against 2010 World Cup winners Spain, stopping two of the shots, while the other one hit the post.
It was a remarkable victory for Morocco, which has never won more than a game at a World Cup, and they’ve now reached the last eight with their third victory in Qatar.
