This is how we covered Spain’s victory over Morocco in the men’s football semi-final | Paris 2024 Olympic Games

Similar numbers for Spain and Morocco in these Games

Both teams are entering their semi-finals with a record of three wins and one loss at these Games. Morocco has scored ten goals and conceded two, while Spain has scored nine goals and conceded three.

Morocco began their journey in the tournament by beating Argentina (1-2) in one of the most controversial endings in history, as the VAR disallowed the goal that tied the game for the Albiceleste almost two hours later, due to a stoppage in the match caused by a pitch invasion. In their second match, they lost to Ukraine (1-2), but in the third they beat Iraq (3-0). In the quarter-finals, they beat the United States (4-0) and now, they will have their test in the semi-finals, their best historical result in the Olympics.

Spain opened the match with a 1-2 victory against Uzbekistan, defeated the Dominican Republic (3-1) in the second match and fell to Egypt (1-2) in a match marked by rotations. In the quarterfinals, they beat Japan (3-0) and beating Morocco would equal, at least, the silver medal they won in Tokyo.
