SPANYOL DIPECUNDANGI MAROKO LEWAT BABAK ADU PENALTI HASIL PERTANDINGAN SPANYOL VS MAROKO

  • last year
Drama occurred again when Morocco made history by advancing to the last 8 of the world cup for the first time, after successfully fending off Spain via penalty shootout.


Walid Reragui's team is the last remaining dark horse team in the last 16 of the 2022 World Cup after Japan and Korea were eliminated.

Morocco, which made it through to the round of 16 by surprise by defeating Belgium and Canada and drawing against Croatia, had to face obstacles from the 2010 world champion, Spain.

In this match, of course, Spain is superior, but Morocco is not a team that can be underestimated because there are many players who play in Europe's top leagues, such as Achraf Hakimi, Amrabat, and Hakim Zyech. What's more, they also failed to win against Morocco in the previous edition of the world cup.

However, for Spain itself, this match is a match of prestige requirements, because they don't want to repeat the mistake 4 years ago where they ran aground in the round of 16 when they lost to the host Russia.


In this match the Atlas Lions team prefers to wait in their own area. They rely on counterattacks by immediately flowing the ball quickly to the front when they win the ball.

In this way, Morocco had several opportunities to steal the advantage, they even got a free kick in a dangerous area after Sofiane Boufal was violated by Gavi. However, Hakimi's free kick still bounced.

In the first half, Morocco appeared so disciplined that it made it difficult for Spain to get chances.

Score 0-0 draw lasted until the end of the first half.

Entering the second half, Spain appeared more dominant and aggressive. They controlled 75% possession and scored a total of 7 shots. But both teams are still deadlocked in scoring goals.
The points score lasted until the end of normal time so that the game went into extra time.

In extra time the two teams played more fluidly, buying and selling attacks occurred more frequently. However, the tight Moroccan defense made Spain try their luck by sending bait and long-range kicks.

Morocco had a golden opportunity through Walid Cheddira however, Chedira failed to take advantage of the opportunity in a one on ane situation with the goalkeeper. In this situation, Walid Reragugui, as a coach, might regret the departure of Ennesyiri a little, because they lost a striker with a sharp instinct for opportunities like that.
