‘They made the continent proud’ – Nigerians react as Morocco makes World Cup history

Nigerians have hailed Morocco’s qualification to the semi-finals of the ongoing FIFA World Cup in Qatar.

The Atlas Lions made history when they beat Cristiano Ronaldo’s Portugal in a pulsating game.

Youssef En-Nesyri’s goal in the first was enough for Morocco to end Portugal’s hope of winning the tournament after success in the European Championships and the Nations League.

After shocking Spain and Belgium, Morrocco will now take on France in the semi-finals after they defeated England.
