FIFA World Cup 2022, Morocco 0-0 Spain (aet, 3-0 pens): Bounou the hero for Atlas Lions

Morocco advanced to a first World Cup quarter-final after beating Spain on a penalty shoot-out after a turgid extra-time clash in Doha.

Al Rayyan (Qatar), December 6: Spain's bid to reach their first World Cup quarter-final since 2010 ended in frustration and failure on Tuesday (December 6) as they missed all of their spot-kicks in a penalty shoot-out defeat to Morocco.

After 120 minutes of goalless domination, in which they racked up 1019 passes, Luis Enrique's side capitulated in the shoot-out with Pablo Sarabia, Carlos Soler and Sergio Busquets all missing, the latter two efforts saved by goalkeeper Yassine Bounou.

It left Madrid-born Achraf Hakimi with the chance to win it which he did with a Panenka to send Morocco through to the last eight for the first time. Morocco will play Portugal or Switzerland in the last eight.
