Morocco stunned World No. 2 Belgium 2-0 in Group F match of 2022 FIFA World Cup at Al Thumama Stadium, Qatar on Sunday.

Sabiri scored through a stunning free-kick to put Morocco in the lead in 73′ before Aboukhlal doubled the lead in the 90+2′. Earlier, VAR had denied Morocco an opening goal at the stroke of half-time due to off side.
