Another big win for Africa, bigger than senegal's win over Qatar, but thanks to Senegal still for setting the pace for other African countries to believe that they can win games. after the disappointing defeat yesterday from Tunisia at the hands of Australia the Moroccan team has vindicated us the Africans that our teams and representatives in the world cup can still qualify for the knockout stages. The statistics have been against Morocco going against the ranked second best team in the world Belgium but they were able to silence the critics and show that they really deserved to win. Great game!
Watching the first half of the game I almost didn't want to continue because Belgium dominated the game right from the ball possession, corners, shots on goal even pass accuracy but coming to the second half of the game the African team changed the game dramatically as they caused severe pain in the defense line of Belgium with their constant attack which continued till they got the reward with a beautiful goal in the 73rd minute by Abdelhamid Sabir.
The goal motivated them to push more attack and finally they were stable as Hakim Ziyech put the Moroccan team side in a more comfortable position with a fantastic assist to Zakaria Aboukhlal who gave the African team the second goal that ensures them a possibility of qualification if they should defeat Canada in their last game.
No one believed that the Moroccan team can defeat the number one-ranked team in the world not even an African team but the performance of Morocco today did not just indicate an improvement in African football it shows how overrated Belgium's team has been, big congratulations to the Morrocan team for a good job.
