Morocco, on Tuesday, dumped Spain out of the World Cup in a last-16 penalty shootout, following a 0-0 draw over 120 minutes.
Spanish-born Achraf Hakimi scored the decisive spot-kick after Spain squandered all three of their attempts in the penalty shootout.
Hakimi, a product of the Real Madrid youth system, calmly slotted his penalty past Unai Simon in Spain’s goal to seal Morocco’s 3-0 win in the shootout.
During the 90 minutes plus extra time, Spain dominated possession but failed to create many clear chances against Morocco’s stubborn defence.
Morocco, however, advanced to a quarter-final clash with either Portugal or Switzerland who meet later on Tuesday.
