Morocco topped Group F with ease and their opponents for the knock-out stage are Spain who shockingly lost to Japan in their last group stage game. These two teams will face each other at Education City Stadium.
The Atlas Lions found themselves in a difficult group this year. Clubbed next to Croatia and Belgium who finished 2nd and 3rd respectively in the 2018 World Cup.
They defied all odds and picked up seven points from the group stage fixtures. Their most impressive victory came against Belgium.
In that 2-0 victory, Zakaria Aboukhlal sealed all three points for Morocco as he scored in the 92nd minute of the game.
One of the most intriguing groups in the World Cup this year has to be Group E. The prime example of this was the opening game when Spain demolished Costa Rica. However, Luis Enrique did not expect that this will be their only victory in the group stage.
Also, Japan topped Group E which shocked everyone. They showed their strength as they defeated one of the best European teams by 2-1. Spain initially were in control against Japan after Alvaro Morata’s early goal.
By the time, the final whistle blew everything turned upside down as Japan scored two goals in the second half. The La Roja finished as the runners-up of Group E.
The Atlas Lions roared loudly as they defeated Canada by 2-1. Nayef Aguerd scored an own goal late in the first half which raised some concerns for manager Walid Regragui.
