Nice smile and sportsmanship from Luis Enrique in congratulating Morocco. He knows this one got away from his team. Morocco deserve their win, and with Hakimi’s penalty, they reached the quarter-finals with true panache.
Morocco’s defenders deserve all the glory, but so too their goalkeeper, brilliant in the shootout. Amazing scenes of celebration, and their coach receives the slaps to his balding head once more. Spain can only reflect on another day when they dominate possession and can find no end-product, and that includes the shootout.
Morocco are through: Morocco 3-0 Spain on penalties!
