Morocco becomes the first country to be eliminated from the 2018 World Cup after suffering a 1-0 defeat against Portugal. A corner kick in the fourth minute allowed Portuguese star, Cristiano Ronaldo, to dive low and head the ball into the back of the net for the early lead. Despite the score, Morocco took control of the first half, maintaining 56% possession and attempting more shots on goal than their opponent. After the break, the North African side upheld a high tempo and rhythm but failed to capitalize on their offensive opportunities. Portugal, on the other hand, adopted a defensive style, attempting merely two shots on goal.
