After playing to a 0-0 draw, Morocco registered an enormous World Cup upset over Spain as their goalie, Bono, became a hero during a penalty shootout
a shocking loss to Japan
Education City Stadium, inside a development that houses satellite campuses for international universities, sounded like it was smack dab in the middle of Casablanca. With a dominant showing in penalty kicks, when goalkeeper Yassine Bounou—who goes simply by Bono—didn’t allow a single one to pass him, Morocco took down Spain to go further in this tournament than the country ever had. Morocco, the last Arab nation left inside the first World Cup within the Arab world, will go on to play the winner of Portugal and Switzerland.
While the Spanish players were left in tears afterward, the Moroccans celebrated in front of a jubilant crowd that refused to leave the stadium for long after the final whistle. From the start of the game, the imbalance in supporters here was clear not just because of the fans who made the trek from North Africa, but from other Muslim fanbases—Saudi Arabian and Palestinian flags, for instance, were waved in support of Morocco.
