Morocco threw Group F into flux with only its third World Cup win ever—a stunning 2–0 upset victory over Belgium.
There was no doubting the Atlas Lions, particularly in the second half with a pair of goals from substitutes as Abdelhamid Sabiri scored on a free kick in the 73rd while Zakaria Aboukhlal added the second in stoppage time. The win sends Morocco into first place in the group of four points after having drawn 2018 runner-up Croatia.
Belgium wasn’t overly impressive in its first match at the World Cup—a 1–0 win over Canada—and that streak continued against a major underdog in Morocco even with a chance to advance to the knockouts with three points on Sunday.
