National foot zapping Live N2: news from Jamal Alioui, the best goal of the J10, the Oise derby…
This is the big surprise of these round of 16 of the World Cup. Morocco, opposed to Spain, has made the game we know to the Iberians sterile. The two nations, who had to decide on penalties after a goalless draw, saw Atlas Lions win (3-0) and qualify, for the first time in their history, for the quarter-finals of a World Cup. Self Azzedine Ounahi gave an XXL performance, also Sofiane Boufal.
However, a small event spoiled the party for the SCO Angers spinner. During his post-match reaction, where he was logically very emotional to the microphone of beIN Sports, the 29-year-old dedicated “to the Moroccan people, the Arab peoples and all the Muslim peoples of the world”. Obviously, the fact that the Angevin did not mention the African continent hurt some people, so much so that the Moroccan published an apology message on his social networks.
