Morocco
May have occasionally relied on luck when playing Spain in the round of 16. But they also had plenty of chances to win the game over the first 90 minutes and extra time. However, both teams failed to score throughout each of those times and the game had to settled via a penalty shoot-out. Three of first four penalties converted. And Bounou emerged as the African team saving grace in goal by blocking two of Spain first three attempts. Will believe they can upset Portugal in the Quarter-Finals and go to the Semi-Finals. As the first African team after their victory against Spain.
