Morocco kept Spain at bay as the match ended goalless after the regulation and extra time. Goalkeeper Yassine Bounou emerged as the hero during the shootout as none of the Spanish players could convert their spot kicks, thereby granting the quarterfinal ticket to Morocco.

Given their performances against teams like Belgium, Canada and Spain, it will not be a hyperbole to say that the African side has the potential to stun Portugal.

As for Portugal, the talking point ahead of the game will be the fortunes of its talisman Cristiano Ronaldo. In the pre-quarterfinal clash against Switzerland, manager Fernando Santos took the courageous call to bench Ronaldo and play 21-year-old Goncalo Ramos in his place.

Despite the noise off the field, Portugal did not miss the services of Ronaldo, as his replacement managed to bag a hattrick in his debut World Cup game.

Speaking after the match, Santos cleared that there was no bad blood and that the decision to drop Ronaldo was tactical. Santos added that he had a conversation with Ronaldo before the game.

The two teams have previously met on two occasions in the World Cup. The last meeting was at the 2018 edition where Portugal came out on top with a 1-0 scoreline.
