Morocco won a narrow 1-0 victory over Portugal in the quarter-final match which was held at Al Thumama Stadium, Doha, Saturday (10/12/2022) evening. This fight gave birth to a number of records. Youssef En-Nesyri's only goal with a header in the 42nd minute completely changed the match. Portugal became the team that rushed to equalize while Morocco continued to defend while looking for quick counterattacks. With Morocco qualifying for the semifinals of the 2022 World Cup, Walid Reragui's team has confirmed itself as a dark horse team in the world football tournament which was held in Qatar.
Interestingly, there are a number of facts and records created after Morocco's victory over Portugal in the 2022 World Cup quarter-finals. What are they?
Third Team Outside Europe and South America to Reach World Cup Semi-Finals: First from Africa
The 1-0 victory won by Morocco over Portugal in the 2022 World Cup quarter-finals set a new record. Morocco is only the third team outside of Europe and South America to have made it to the semifinals of the World Cup. The record is that the United States first reached the semifinals at the 1990 World Cup, then there was South Korea which reached the semifinals at the 2002 World Cup, where they hosted it.
However, now Morocco has added to the list of teams outside Europe and South America that have made it to the semifinals of the World Cup. Interestingly, Morocco is the first African team to qualify so far for the World Cup.

Morocco has only conceded once in the last 9 matches, and even then an own goal
Throughout competing in the 2022 World Cup from the group phase to the quarter-finals, Morocco has played five times. Interestingly, from those five matches, Morocco only conceded once.
In fact, not only five matches at the 2022 World Cup, Morocco also previously did not concede goals in the last four matches before the 2022 World Cup. In addition, the only goal they have conceded in their last nine matches, the goal against Morocco was an own goal. That is, none of the opposing players were able to tear the nets off the Moroccan goal with their own kicks or headers.
Walid Reragui is the first African coach in the quarter-finals of the World Cup, and is now looking at the semifinals
Not only Morocco as a team that for the first time qualified for the World Cup semifinals. The coach, Walid Reragugui, is currently the first African coach to appear in the quarter-finals of the World Cup. This means, with Morocco's success in advancing to the semifinals, Walid Reragugui's record will increase later.

In the history of the World Cup, only four African teams have appeared in the quarter-finals. It turned out that Morocco was the only team that was able to finish the match in normal time, where the previous three teams always needed extra time or a penalty shootout. Yes Cameroon in the 1990 World Cup lost 2-3 to England after going through extra time. So did Senegal when they met Turkey in the 2002 World Cup, where Turkey won 1-0.
Meanwhile, Ghana even needed a penalty shoot-out against Uruguay in the 2010 World Cup. At that time, Ghana finally lost to Uruguay after a 1-1 draw. Ghana lost 2-4 in a penalty shootout.
However, what distinguishes the three teams from Morocco is not only that the Atlas Lions Team finished the game in 90 minutes, but that Morocco is the only African team to win in the quarter-finals and qualify for the semifinals.
