Morocco stunned Belgium 2-0 in their second Group F game at the ongoing FIFA World Cup in Qatar, on Sunday.

This is the first victory for the North African nation at the tournament and it comes against world no2 best team in the FIFA ranking.

Abdelhamid Sabiri broke the deadlock for Morocco in the 73rd minute before Toulouse forward Zakaria Aboukhlal doubled Morocco’s lead in the 90+2nd minute.

The Atlas Lions who came into the match from a goalless draw against Croatia, took the lead late in the second half after the first half ended in a stalemate.

The victory was just a third for Morocco at a World Cup finals, following wins against Portugal in 1986 and Scotland in 1998.
