Morocco outplay world No 2 Belgium to win 2-0 – ‘Drink it in, Casablanca’
FIFA World Cup 2022: Morocco beat Belgium to end 24-year wait
Hakim Ziyech-inspired Morocco stun Red Devils with 2-0 win in Qatar
The Morocco fans gave the match a vintage World Cup feel in a boiling atmosphere at the Al Thumama Stadium and Sabiri curled a wide free kick past Thibaut Courtois before Aboukhlal netted in stoppage time to put Morocco top of Group F with four points, one ahead of Belgium.
It was Morocco’s first win at a World Cup since they beat Scotland in 1998. Belgium, who had scraped a 1-0 win over Canada in their first game, looked a pale shadow of the team who finished third in 2018 and climbed to second in the world rankings. They must now battle for a last-16 spot against Croatia.
