Morocco has written World Cup history following their 1-0 win over Portugal in the Quarter Finals.

The result means that they are the first African and Arab country to reach the tournament’s semi-finals.

Youssef En-Nesyri leapt high in the air to head home the game’s only goal just before half-time at the Al-Thumama Stadium.

The result was widely celebrated across Africa and the Arabic-speaking Middle East, desperate to see one of their teams in contention for the biggest prize in football.

Morocco had already taken the scalps of Belgium and Spain in this tournament but the win over Portugal is of much greater significance.

Morocco will now play France in the final four after they beat England. The other semi final will see Argentina play Croatia.
