Newshour

Available for over a year

Morocco have caused a seismic upset by knocking out Spain on penalties 3-0, after the game had finished goalless in the first 120 minutes. It is the only African - and Arab - team to make the final eight this year. Shortly after the end of the match, Newshour spoke to Jalal Bounouar - a Moroccan football pundit in Casablanca. What was the atmosphere like in the city - and just how did the team make it this far? (Photo: Moroccan supporters celebrate victory as Morocco qualified for 2022 FIFA World Cup quarterfinals.
