Pretty balanced game so far, with Morocco actually looking a little
more dangerous. 2 good occasions around min 20 for them. If Hakimi had
placed his strong shot a little more laterally he might have got
something.
Anyway, pretty good game so far.

Min. 38, now Holland has a good chance, stronf shot from about 25
meters. Also too central, right on the moroccan keeper who didn't have
much trouble blocking it.

Then Morocco has a string of good opportunities in the added minutes of
the first half, nothing comes out of it.

Morocco looked good on the balance, tight defense and dangerous in
attack. My impression is that they made a little too many individual
mistakes, in defense (where in the end they didn't pay for it because
they were able to fix the situation every time) as well as in attack,
where they wasted around 3 or 4 good chances. 1 - 0 for them at half
time would have looked more fitting IMO.

Min. 52 huge chance for Morocco, Hakimi hits the crossbar after an
excellent through pass.

Morocco are playing with their chances. It feels like that kind of game
where it's going to cost them in the end.

And it happens. Good counter by Holland, they take advantage of a big
space in morocco's defense and score in min. 72.

1 - 0 Holland.

1 - 0 Holland.

Min. 90 + 1, to everybody's surprise Morocco shows that they can score.
Cross from the left for the giant Diop who heads it into the net.

1 - 1 and now it's wide open, with the moment a little bit in Morocco's
favor.

Extra-time.

After another huge chance for them at begin, Morocco with a lot of
sterile passes in midfield. They have the ball but do nothing with it.
Holland seems to be content to defend and wait for the opponent's
mistake, which they very well might get.

Looks like Morocco won it.

Holland the second european powerhouse to lose a PK shootout in less
than a day.
But it feels right, Morocco have been a little bit above them
throughout the game. Though they definitely should have done more with
the chances they created.

Good game over-all.
Not much to say about the officiating. While I didn't like the ref very
much, he should of course have called more fouls and shown more cards,
on both sides, but the level of hacking was more or less acceptable and
there didn't seem to be any glaring mistakes.

It was interesting, albeit borderline violent in the first half. Early
in the second, Wilton Sampaio decided to show the players he did have
the cards on him, and it got better.

Morocco deserved winners.

Tchau!
