The cameras at the World Cup stadium, Al-Thumama, documented the reaction of star Cristian Ronaldo, following the first goal of the Moroccan team against his Dutch counterpart, who is led by the Don.
Cristiano Ronaldo and Morocco’s first goal
Morocco had opened the scoring in the match with the goal of Youssef Al-Nusairi, against Portugal in the first half of the match, to give preference to the Atlas Lions.
It was clear on Ronaldo’s face heartbreak and distress, and he showed signs of anger while he was sitting on the bench.
This goal, which greatly disturbed the “Don”, came through Youssef Al-Nusairi in the 42nd minute of the first half, after Yahya Atiyatallah sent a wonderful cross, which Al-Nusairi received with a header that hit the net.
Morocco and Portugal match
The Moroccan national team was able to qualify from the round of 16 by defeating Spain (3-0) on penalties, after the end of the original and extra time with a goalless draw.
Portugal qualified for the Round of 8 after defeating Switzerland 6-1.
The winner of this match will advance to the semi-finals and face the winner of the France-England match.
The two teams met twice before, the first was in the group stage of the 1986 World Cup, and Morocco won 3/1, with a double of Abdul Razzaq Khairi and Abdul Karim Miri (Karimo).
It was the second and final confrontation in the group stage of the 2018 World Cup, and Portugal won 1/0 with a goal scored by Cristiano Ronaldo.
Youssef Al-Nusairi and a historic achievement
With this goal, Youssef Al-Nusairi, the Spanish Seville striker, achieved a historic achievement in the World Cup.
Youssef Al-Nusairi scored Morocco’s goal in the 42nd minute of the match, with a header the moment the Portuguese goalkeeper left his goal.
And the “Opta” statistics network stated that Youssef Al-Nusairi became the historic scorer for the Moroccan national team in the World Cup with 3 goals, surpassing the trio Abdel-Razzak Khairy, Abdel-Jalil Camacho and Basir Salah El-Din with two goals.
