Morocco Football Club set a huge record to become the first African country to play in semifinals as they defeated Portugal FC on 10th of December, 2022.
The Moroccan national team has become the first African nation to qualify for the semi-finals of the world cup
After being the underdog going into the competition, the North African country, against the run of play, scored the opening goal of the encounter just before halftime with a towering header from El-Nesyri.
Despite having much of the lion’s share of possession, Portugal were unable to break down a stubborn Morocco defence.
Even with a red card in the 93rd minute, Morocco held on with a lone goal to make history as the first African side to make it to the semis, and more spectacularly, they are yet to lose a match.
