First Belgium, then Spain, now Portugal - Morocco's giant-killing spree continues.

The Atlas Lions are through to the semi-finals of the FIFA World Cup 2022 in Qatar, the first African or Arab team to do so in the tournament's history.

A 42nd-minute goal from Youssef En-Naysri was enough to seal victory for the North African team and solidify their place as football legends.

Later today, England take on 2018 winners France for the last remaining place in the semi-finals. The victor of that match will take on Morocco on Wednesday.
