Africans, Qataris and Fans from the whole of Arab nations take to the streets in celebration of Morocco's historic win over Portugal. Morocco break new ground in becoming the first African and Arab country to ever reach the World Cup semi-finals.

Morocco's remarkable World Cup campaign has reached new heights after the Atlas Lions beat Portugal 1-0 to become the first Arab and African country to ever reach the tournament’s semi-finals stage.

Youssef En Nesyri’s soaring 42nd-minute header proved the difference for coach Walid Regragui’s side, whose resolute defensive display on Saturday capped a remarkable showing in Qatar which has now seen them play more than seven hours of football without conceding to an opposition player.

Even Walid Cheddira’s red card in the third minute of extra time couldn’t take the shine off their against-the-odds victory, which sparked an outpouring of joy among the tens of thousands of Morocco fans packed inside the Al Thumama Stadium.
