In the silence after the battle, Spain's players stood as silent as leaves swept away by the storm, their hearts in a sea of waves. Pedri, the young player who had his first taste of the World Cup, his eyes were full of unspeakable sadness, it was his first time on the top stage of global soccer, but it ended with a stop in the round of 16. Far away from the stands, Spain's fans sank into the abyss of disappointment, many of them cried out in pain, their scarves became a tool to wipe away the tears, helplessness and grief intertwined into a sad picture. !

They sprinted to the goalkeeper Bunu's side and warmly embraced the hero. Bounou, drowned out by the cheers of his teammates, tears welling up in his eyes, was then thrown high in the air by the entire team to celebrate his saving grace in the penalty shootout, pouncing on Soler and Busquets, and it was his heroics that enabled Morocco to eliminate Spain and achieve this historic moment. !

Morocco has not only become the fourth team in African history to step into the top eight of the World Cup, but also the first African team in the history of the World Cup to win the penalty shootout. This moment belongs to Morocco, they created their own crazy record. Next, Morocco will face Portugal and Switzerland, two strong rivals, no matter which opponent, may write the best chapter of African teams in the World Cup.
