Youssef Nesri: In the Saturday FIFA World Cup 2022 quarterfinal game, Morocco pulled off a significant upset. Portugal was eliminated from the World Cup after getting defeated by Morocco 1-0 and making World Cup history. With this, Morocco will make its first-ever appearance in the semifinals. As soon as the contest began, there was a close battle between the two teams. However, Moroccan footballer Youssef N Nesri astonished everyone with a fantastic goal after the first half ended scoreless.
Youssef Nesri surprises everyone with header
The outstanding goal by Nesri was scored in the 42nd minute. Nesri hoped to get a pass to the ball as the Moroccan footballers carried it into the Portuguese camp. The Portuguese goalkeeper was caught off guard as Nesri took advantage of his position and soared into the air to score a thunderous header.
The goalkeeper’s dive was likewise unsuccessful. He was powerless to block Nesri’s progress toward his goal. The stadium’s spectators went bonkers after this goal as well. Yahla Atial Allah helped Nesri achieve this goal with accurate precision. The Portuguese team was unable to recover after this Moroccan goal and went on to lose the game. In the 90+3 minute, a goal by Moroccan Walid Chedriya was scored, but it was not counted. Following the goal, Chedriya received a red card.
Morocco rewrites the records
As a result of this triumph, Morocco was able to make history. It has become the first ever African team to reach the semi-finals. A team had previously advanced to the quarterfinals, including Cameroon, Senegal, and Ghana, but none had advanced to the semifinals. Only twice, in 1966 and 2006, did Portugal’s team manage to finish in the top four. This time, they once more lost their chance to win the World Cup.
