WATCH Highlights: Morocco beat Portugal 1-0, become first African side in FIFA World Cup semis

Morocco continued their fairy-tale run in the FIFA World Cup 2022 as they dumped Cristiano Ronaldo's Portugal out of the tournament with a 1-0 win.

With the victory, the Atlas Lions become the first African side to go through to the World Cup semi-finals.

It was Morocco's En-Nesyri who broke the deadlock for his side with an incredible leaping header right on the cusp of half time which eventually turned out to be the match-winner in the end.

Portugal did come close to levelling the score when Bruno Fernandes' strike hit the crossbar just before the half-time whistle, but in the end they failed to breach the Moroccan goal.

After 5 games in the tournament, the Atlas Lions are yet to concede a goal from any opposition they have faced so far which shows the resilience Walid Regragui's men are showing at the biggest stage of them all.

Defeat for Portugal meant that Cristiano Ronaldo's last bite at World Cup glory ended in disappointment.
