Morocco
Last time out, Morocco advanced to the quarterfinals with a 1-0 win, after penalties, against Spain. The North African squad looked the better team throughout, and they were rewarded with the result in the end.
Nothing could separate these two teams in full time or extra time, so the teams went to penalties to decide a winner. Morocco stepped up first and drilled their penalty and Spain followed up with a penalty that hit the post and stayed out. Morocco hit two of their next three penalties, coupled with two more Spain misses, and earned the win.
A fantastic performance for the CAF squad.
Portugal
Portugal played Switzerland and put on a show as they advanced with a 6-1 win.
Goncalo Ramos started in place of Cristiano Ronaldo and ended the game with a hat trick. Ramos got the scoring started in the 17th minute, scored his second goal in the 51st and finished off the hat trick in the 67th. Pepe (33rd minute), Raphael Guerriero (55th), and Rafael Leao (90+2) were the other Portuguese players to get on the scoresheet.
A scary performance by the Euro 2016 champions.
