The Moroccan National Team led their group against tough teams like Belgium and Croatia. Those led by Walid Regragui imposed conditions and made history for Arab Africa in the Qatar 2022 World Cup.
Ziyech put the Moroccans ahead against Canada just after 4 minutes game while Neysri at minute 23 scored the second before Canada’s discount.
Morocco how in the World Cup Mexico 1986
The Moroccan team had a performance similar to that of the 1986 Mexico World Cup in which they ended up leading their group after two goalless draws against Poland and England and a 1-0 win against Portugal.
In this opportunity Morocco seized a difficult group in which they defeated Belgium and Canada and drew a draw against Croatiacurrent world runners-up who ended up ranking second.
Africa and its role in the Qatar 2022 World Cup
Morocco joins Senegal so far as the two representatives of Africa who manage to install their name in the round of 16waiting for what Ghana and Cameroon can do even with mathematical options to access the round.
The Lions of the Atlas, as Morocco is known, will try in the second round to show that their performance so far is no coincidence and they will try to keep moving forward. They will have to play against the Spain of Luis Enrique who finally finished second in his group after being defeated by his counterpart from Japan.
Morocco will be faithful to their proposal and they will come out with everything in a match where they have nothing to lose and much to continue to gain, such as surpassing the performance of Mexico 1986.
