FIFA World Cup: Morocco win hearts by celebrating another victory with 'sajda'

Morocco's semi-final qualification in FIFA World Cup 2022 has been celebrated by Muslims across the world. 

The Atlas Lions became the only African and second Muslim country after Turkey in history to qualify for FIFA World Cup's last four. 

The Moroccan squad once again won hearts by not only their win but their celebration style too. Just like pre-quarters victory, Moroccan players and team management went into 'sajda' to celebrate the historic triumph. 

Muslims across the world were impressed by the men in red and lauded their emotional journey to the FIFA World Cup's semis. 

Morocco's convincing victory

Impressive Morocco upset Portugal 1-0 to qualify for the semi-final of FIFA World Cup 2022 in Qatar on Saturday.

Unimaginable scenes were witnessed Al Thumama Stadium where Youssef En-Nesyri's first-half header took the African country to the semi-finals.

Just three minutes before the first half ended, En-Nesyri's perfect towering header made the most of a cross from left-back Yahya Attiat. The men in red started celebrating as soon as the header deceived Portuguese goalkeeper Costa and went straight into the goal.
