DOHA: Belgium are the second best team in the world, according to FIFA, but they were definitely second best to Morocco on Sunday.
The 2-0 win that went the way of the Atlas Lions was fully deserved and surely the most impressive World Cup result in the country’s history.
It also leaves the side’s short-term future looking pretty healthy too. The second-half goals from Abdelhamid Sabiri and Zakaria Aboukhlal mean that Morocco have claimed four points from their first two games in Group F.
A draw against Canada will put them in the last 16. But whatever happens on Thursday, this was Morocco’s best ever day on the global stage.
