Santos the manager of the Portugal national team said, “We won 1-0 but we had to suffer a lot to win that match, My players know that”.
As for Morocco, this is the only team outside of Europe/ South America that qualified for the quarter-final in this 2022 FIFA world cup. The last match penalty-shootout win against Spain in the round of 16, sparks the energy of the fans of Morocco.
