Morocco caused a major upset by beating Spain via penalties

Morocco won the penalty shootout against Spain to qualify for the quarter finals after scoring three of their penalties and missing one while Spain lost all three of their penalties.

Hakimi, a product of the Real Madrid youth system, calmly slotted his penalty past Unai Simon in Spain’s goal to seal Morocco’s 3-0 win in the shootout.

During the 90 minutes plus extra time, Spain dominated possession but failed to create many clear chances against Morocco’s stubborn defence.

Morocco advanced to a quarter-final clash with either Portugal or Switzerland who meet later on Tuesday.
