365Daily– Morocco has qualified for the quarter-finals of the World Cup for the first time after beating Spain on penalties.

Having just one shot in the second half, Bounou pushed away Olmo’s powerful effort before Morata missed the target with a header.

In extra-time, Simon made a point-blank save from Cheddira before Sarabia hit the post with the final kick to send the match to penalties.

Spain faltered from the spot, failing to score any of their three penalties, while Sarabia hit the post with Bounou saving spot-kicks from Soler and Busquets.
