00:00♪♪
00:05-♪ Hello, hello, hello, hello ♪
00:07-♪♪
00:11Gael Lloromé has got the goal!
00:13♪♪
00:14And Morocco has been gifted the opening goal!
00:18♪♪
00:20Morocco!
00:22♪♪
00:26Morocco! Morocco! Morocco!
00:29Wow, look at this. This is quite amazing inside this stadium here. It's unclear whether we're
00:40in Qatar or Casablanca. The light show has started, the teams are getting ready to come
00:45out and the noise here is just on a different level. We are so excited about this game.
00:50Morocco taking on Spain. Joe, what sort of game are we expecting? I think it'll be a
00:55tight affair. I think the type of game will depend on who is on top. If it's a football
01:00in game, then Spain will dominate possession. I think Morocco want to make a counter-attacking
01:05physical game. But it's intriguing, it is. And the closer you get to kick-off, the more
01:09you fancy Morocco. It really does feel like a home game for them in here.
01:13Again, you know, the Moroccan players mentally have to prepare. That's going to be a game
01:17where Spain is going to have the ball a lot. But you can control a game without having
01:21the ball. And that's, I assume, going to be their game plan. And then seeing them win,
01:25they have a chance. The atmosphere here is unbelievable, you know.
01:28And this is an opportunity to qualify for the quarter-finals. And actually, you know,
01:32the favourites so far in these knockout stages have gone through. You know, the likes of
01:36England, France, Brazil, Argentina. But Spain definitely would be a favourite here. But
01:41this is an opportunity 100% for an upset. A huge, huge opportunity. And it is time to
01:46get the action underway for a place in the quarter-final. Morocco versus the 2010 World
01:51Champions Spain. Let's hand you over to your commentators for this one. John Hartson and
01:55Seb Hutchinson. Yes, thank you, Laura. A match-up that would
02:00have seemed for some unlikely when looking at the tournament layout. Yet topping a group
02:05that featured two of 2018 semi-finalists has seen Morocco make the knockout stages for
02:11the first time since 1986. In 2022, they are the last of their continent and the last of
02:20their creed still standing at this stage. Can they contain Spain? Two neighbours on
02:30the Mediterranean with a gulf in terms of World Cup pedigree. But based on performances
02:37so far, this is far from an easy match-up to call. The Education City Stadium welcomes
02:46Morocco and Spain in what feels like a home match for Morocco. It's harmful for the region.
02:57So far, based on their displays, they've been a credit to the competition. But of course,
03:07for anybody. We can't wait for this one. And of course, before the action, we'll have the
03:35ladies and gentlemen. Please rise if you are able for the playing of the national anthem
03:41of Morocco.
04:04The National Anthem of Morocco.
04:34The National Anthem of Morocco.
04:57The National Anthem of Spain.
05:07The National Anthem of Spain.
05:37The National Anthem of Morocco.
06:07Quite the atmosphere in this arena. Morocco against Spain after this short break.
06:37Get your kicks on Just Eat. Have it, have it, have it.
07:05Match time meal deals on Just Eat. We got it.
07:08Did somebody say Just Eat?
07:19All the feelings of football, sponsored by Google Pixel 7.
07:30This is the Education City Stadium in Al-Rayyan for Morocco against Spain.
07:35And let's take a look at the teams.
07:39Morocco with only one change from the last group game against Canada.
07:43Abdelhamid Saberi is replaced in midfield by Selim Amala.
07:47Goalkeeper Bono and forward Yusuf En-Nasiri both play for Sevilla in Spain.
07:52Star fullback Ashraf Hakimi was born in Spain.
07:57The headline news from this Spain line-up is that three-goal striker Alvaro Morata is only on the bench.
08:04It's the same side that began the draw with Germany except for a first World Cup start for Marcos Llorente,
08:10who is likely to play at Rijkaard.
08:19As we've mentioned already, so much support for the Atlas Lions.
08:24Plenty of Spanish support as well.
08:29The expectation in Spain is high, it's always high since World Cup glory in 2010.
08:34The last two World Cups have ended prematurely for them.
08:38For Morocco, the Premier League pedigree of Hakimi Ziyech has already made an impact on this tournament so far.
08:46He has plenty of support from some talented teammates.
09:00The Morocco manager said Morocco would be able to fill two stadiums if all the supporters could make it to Qatar.
09:08Taking on a Spain with an old head at the base of that midfield, Sergio Busquets.
09:17Away we go for Morocco, a historic occasion for so many reasons.
09:24Aim for the sky, said their manager.
09:28How high are we talking, John Hudson, considering how impressive they were in the group stages?
09:33Yeah, they were. They were brilliant in the group stages, winning the group, of course.
09:38A good draw with Croatia, who are now in the quarter-finals.
09:42They beat Belgium, also beat Canada, so they should be feeling very good about themselves, should Morocco.
09:47And you look at Spain, seven goals v Costa Rica, they can mesmerise you in possession with their passing.
09:54But also showed some frailties defensively when they've gone ahead.
09:58You know, they were pegged back to Germany and also beaten by Japan.
10:01So two very good teams, really tough one to call this game today.
10:05One thing we will know, of course, is that Spain will dominate position.
10:10That won't bother Morocco too much.
10:14They've played in front of their back four.
10:17The whistles around this stadium.
10:21Spain have the ball.
10:26The ports, with Manchester City team-mate Rodri.
10:31Llorente, they've brought that forward and already may Morocco win the ball back.
10:36The roar, Mazraoui inside, Amrabat.
10:41Calming presence at the base of this Morocco midfield.
10:47A loose, early touch from Ashraf Hakimi.
10:52Arguably the star of this side.
10:55And for Walid Raghragi, who only took over in August.
10:58A bit of a frowt.
11:00Moroccan, who ran all the players just before.
11:04Walked down into the tunnel, hugged every single one of them.
11:07Including the substitutes.
11:09An early warning from the referee.
11:11Fernando Raffergini, from Argentina.
11:17A forewarning from Morocco.
11:20Some tough tackles from them.
11:23Trying to disrupt Spain's rhythm.
11:26Spain's rhythm.
11:30Rodri.
11:33Central midfield for Manchester City.
11:35Centre-back for Spain.
11:46Expecting to see plenty of touches.
11:49From Pedri and Gabi, to central midfield and ahead of Busquets.
11:53There's another tough tackle.
11:56You can see the intent.
11:57Already through foul that time.
11:59Well, do you think the Moroccan players are going to sit back and admire
12:02how Spain pass the ball?
12:04You can think again.
12:05You know, they will not let them settle.
12:07They'll get after them and try and get good spells of possession themselves.
12:12Respect them off the pitch, yes.
12:13But when he crossed that white line,
12:16that's when it stops.
12:18Don't think for a second that Spain will be put off by these boots.
12:21And these whistles.
12:22Dani Olmo.
12:24Nifty footwork from him.
12:25Rodri.
12:29Casariente.
12:33You can see how Spain line up at the front.
12:35It's Asensio in the middle.
12:37Meran Torres on the right.
12:38Olmo on the left.
12:43Pedri trying to pick out Gabi.
12:46Almost.
12:47The pass through an eye of a needle there.
12:50Fono up in the air.
12:51Asensio pressing to win it back.
12:56Hakimi.
13:01Rahi.
13:03And the other midfielders.
13:06It's no surprise.
13:09They're covering so many of the
13:11Arabic-speaking nations of this World Cup.
13:13The support that they've had.
13:17It's not a shot.
13:19It's not a shot.
13:24This adds to the occasion.
13:29Rodri.
13:33Llorente.
13:35Comfortable in midfield.
13:36So no problem of him stepping in from that right-back area.
13:41Pedri.
13:49Olmo.
13:51Tackled.
13:52And Morocco will aim to break quickly
13:54and link up.
13:55And they're very effective in that regard.
13:59Ziyech.
14:01Just a heavy touch in the end.
14:02But right there.
14:04Clear as day.
14:05Morocco's game plan, John.
14:07Yeah, well.
14:08They're trying to soak up the pressure for now
14:10and not to hit Spain on the counter, aren't they?
14:12Ziyech, we know.
14:14We saw him score in the last game against Canada.
14:17We know he's a dangerous player.
14:19When he's on his game, he can make a huge impact.
14:26Laporte.
14:28To Olmo.
14:33Rodri.
14:38Peter.
14:39And Torres.
14:40And Torres.
14:42To Llorente.
14:43Llorente.
14:44It's a big challenge coming across from Ziyech.
14:47And a goal kick.
14:49But for Llorente.
14:52The dog named Anfield.
14:54And a big part of that might be the goal he scored against Liverpool.
14:56A few seasons back to knock them out of the Champions League
14:59at Atletico Madrid.
15:00Did you not know I was a Liverpool fan?
15:02I didn't know that, actually.
15:04What are your dogs called?
15:07At least say you have a dog.
15:08I do, I do have a dog, yeah.
15:11You're not going to say his name, is that it?
15:12No.
15:13Protect the dog, yeah?
15:17Bono goes long.
15:21What can they do here, Morocco?
15:22Bouffal again.
15:24Those problems on that left-hand side.
15:26There's Bouffal.
15:28Lovely feet.
15:30Tight.
15:31He's not going to get the free kick, though.
15:35And a throw-in to Morocco.
15:38Belgium couldn't deal with them.
15:41Canada couldn't deal with them.
15:44Goalless draw with Croatia, which you watched, John.
15:48Showed they're a tough side to get through.
15:50And cause problems at the other end.
15:56You're welcome at any time to fill us in on that 0-0, John.
15:59Well, it's almost like they've, you know, they've improved.
16:02Like a lot of other teams, you know, like Croatia.
16:04You know, quite, you know, average.
16:06I wouldn't say average, but never really, you know,
16:09hit the heights that they've hit now.
16:11You know, they're sitting in the quarter-final.
16:13Lots of teams, as the tournament will go on,
16:15that they seem to get their rhythm and get better
16:18as the tournament goes on.
16:20So, and that's what Morocco have done.
16:23And that's why I give them a chance in this game.
16:25Especially with N-Nazary, the PSG striker.
16:30And, you know, I think they're going to be
16:32a PSG striker up top for them.
16:38I'll give you that one, John, Sevilla.
16:42Sevilla, of course, yeah.
16:44Only one, only one.
16:45It's Hakimi, I meant, PSG, the right-back.
16:49He's pretty good as well.
16:50Yeah, very good.
16:52Here's Gabi.
16:53Gabi.
17:01Petri already.
17:02Plenty of touches for him.
17:05Rodri.
17:08Laporte.
17:10Julio Alba wanted that ball played over the top from Laporte.
17:14Holding off, waiting for that moment, Spain.
17:16Ferran Torres appreciated the cross-field pass.
17:20And Torres.
17:22Tight feet.
17:24And that'll be a free-kick to Morocco.
17:26The bodies are back.
17:29The spaces are tight.
17:36Yeah, it's Gabi.
17:38Just brings down Amrabat.
17:41Not watching him cross the bar.
17:43Not at all, Amrabat.
17:45The key player for Morocco.
17:47Replaced his brother at the last World Cup.
17:49Mouradine is not part of this squad.
17:53These two nations met at the last World Cup in Russia.
17:56Morocco were already out by the time they faced Spain in the final group game.
18:00Spain.
18:02So, a little more nervous for them.
18:04Ultimately, they got through all being knocked out of penalties by Russia.
18:12Yeah, Amrabat from Easter Bay Sevens got a huge role in this game.
18:16Sitting in front of the back four.
18:18Just stopping them little threaded balls going through.
18:20Looking to intercept as many passes from Spain as he can.
18:24That's why he's in the team.
18:41Here's Lefort.
18:43And it goes to Jordi Alba.
18:45Forward towards Asensio.
18:46Like there.
18:47There he is again.
18:48Like there.
18:49Amrabat superb.
18:50Great cover.
18:53Who clears it long.
18:56Most impressive players in that position in this competition.
19:00Amrabat.
19:01Busquets.
19:03Not allowed any time on the ball.
19:05And that's brilliant hunting down by Morocco.
19:09And Brouffal brought down.
19:12A good period this for the North Africans.
19:24Yeah, Busquets thought that was a foul.
19:28Foul initially on Busquets.
19:35Let me tell you.
19:36Let me tell you.
19:38A trap Hakeemi.
19:39Can strike a dead ball pretty well.
19:46Look at Ziyech.
19:48Let's see.
19:50This is Hakeemi's.
19:51Chance to test Unai Simoen.
19:59We know the way John.
20:00We've been all the big build up.
20:02But I have seen Hakeemi.
20:04Strike a free kick from this sort of range.
20:06Into the top corner.
20:07Hakeemi from PSG.
20:10That's correct.
20:20Decent position here.
20:22It's Hakeemi.
20:26Unai Simoen.
20:27Had no issue with it.
20:29But a first sighter for the fullback.
20:31Yeah, we thought it'd be Hakeemi who hits it.
20:33Yeah.
20:34Keeper Simoen.
20:35Had it covered all the way.
20:38Decent hit.
20:39But always going over for me.
21:04And Busquets.
21:07Tidy up and get.
21:09A Spain carousel going again.
21:15They're working hard.
21:17Oh, Bono.
21:21Taking a chance.
21:25Just about.
21:27Yeah, they've taken a risk.
21:29But did it very, very well.
21:34You can see here, Bono's obviously very good.
21:37With the ball at his feet.
21:38Takes a little bit of a risk.
21:39But they get out really well.
21:41Morocco.
21:44Just had to check off, yeah.
