Cristiano Ronaldo could not make a difference coming off as a second-half substitute and is knocked out of the World Cup yet again, this time, probably for the last time.
Cristiano Ronaldo left the pitch in tears as his World Cup dream is certainly over.
A well-deserved win for the African team as they keep yet another clean sheet in the World Cup. They are yet to conceded a goal from an opponent in the tournament as the only goal scored against them in the competition has been an own goal.
MOROCCO ARE THROUGH TO THE SEMI-FINALS!!!! Ronaldo & Co.'s journey at the 2022 FIFA World Cup comes to an end. En-Nesyri's towering header is the difference between the two teams as a brave Morccan team become the first team to reach the semi-finals in the World Cup.
Ronaldo is out and it seems his World Cup dream will never come true.
Is this the moment for Cristiano Ronaldo to shine in the ongoing tournament?
The excitement of the game just continues to grow as Morocco head into the second half with a one-goal lead.
En-Nesyri's towering header has given Morocco the lead as they are just 45 minutes way from making history. Portugal had a few chances now and Fernandes rattled the crossbar and just moments later Portugal's penalty appeal was denied. The game came alive all of a sudden in the final five minutes of the first half and it's all there to play for in the second half.
Goncalo Ramos' hat-trick against Switzerland not only helped him retain his place in Portugal's starting XI but also made him the joint-third-best goalscorer at the tournament. Bruno Fernandes has three assists to his name and will be a key player for them here.

CRISTIANO RONALDO ON THE BENCH!! Fernando Santos has made just one change to the team from their emphatic win over Switzerland as Wolverhampton Wanderers midfielder Ruben Neves replaces William Carvalho.
Morocco manager Walid Regragui had to make a couple of changes. Jawad Yamiq and Yahya Attiat-Allah are in for Nayef Aguerd and Noussair Mazraoui, with the latter two out injured.
Morocco have secured their place in the quarter-finals for the first time in history, thanks to a resilient display against Spain. Their round of 16 game ended goalless after regular time and extra-time and was decided on penalties. Morocco emerged victorious in the shootout 3-0 with goalkeeper Yassine Bounou saving penalties from two Spanish players.
Morocco and Portugal will go head-to-head for a place in the second semi-final, with the winner of the game set to face either England or reigning champions France.
