The world was served yet another FIFA World Cup shock as Morocco defeated Belgium 2-0 in the Group stage, in the process, remaining alive in the world cup. Morocco had been looking the more clinical and dangerous side on attack in the first half despite Belgium enjoying a good chunk of possession. Hakim Ziyech scored in the culminating moments of the first half but the goal was later ruled out after VAR intervention. While Morocco remained concrete, Belgium started to lose energy and lacked freshness in the second half. Abdelhamid Sabiri scored a brilliant free kick and Thiabut Courtois had no answer. Desperately searching for an equalizer, Roberto Martinez threw Romelu Lukaku into the mix but Belgium couldn’t conjure up anything special. Instead, Morocco sealed the win in stoppage time with a second goal as Zakaria Aboukhlal placed a deft top bin finish to ensure all three points for the North Africans. Ziyech makes a run and creates space on the right before cutting it back to the path of Aboukhlal who slots it home first time.
