Morocco Stuns Spain in PK Shootout to Advance to Quarterfinals

Morocco shocked Spain—and the world—by advancing to the World Cup quarterfinals with a penalty-shootout win in the round of 16.

After a scoreless 120 minutes, the Atlas Lions prevailed in the shootout 3–0, as Spain missed all three of its chances, which included two saves from Morocco goalkeeper Bono. The Sevilla backstop achieved legendary status along with Achraf Hakimi after the PSG star scored on a Panenka, clipping down the center to clinch the victory in epic fashion. 

The Atlas Lions will now head to the World Cup quarterfinals for the first time in their history, where they will face the winner of Portugal vs. Switzerland. Even more remarkable is the fact that manager Walid Regragui was appointed at the end of August, less than three months before the tournament.
