Morocco set the record by beating Portugal 1:0 in the quarterfinal match, which saw the countries battle against each other.
It was a tight match for both sides despite the Portugal manager deciding to bench his crucial player and captain, Cristiano Ronaldo, for the second match in a row after he was benched again in the game against Switzerland.

Morocco has conceded only one goal, which is its own goal in the ongoing World Cup.
