Morocco and Spain were competing for a place in the quarterfinals in a game on Tuesday, December 6, 2022, in Qatar.

The two soccer superpowers were evenly matched for the entire 90-minute game and two additional 15-minute periods before Morocco won 3-0 on penalties. The Atlas Lions are the continent’s final hope for the trophy, having fought valiantly from the start.
The two-hour goalless scramble was arguably the least tedious scramble we’ve seen in this tournament so far, as both teams played a solid game that demonstrated the importance of the victory on both sides. Spain would undoubtedly be disappointed with their performance.
