Morocco have staged the latest big upset at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, beating Belgium, the team ranked second in the world, by two goals to nil in their second group stage, for only their third World Cup win in history.
Goals from Abdelhamid Sabiri and Zakaria Aboukhlal secured the win for the north African side, who are ranked 22nd in the world and they really deserved it.
Roberto Martinez's Belgium side looked lifeless and void of inspiration throughout the entire game and struggled to create any chances in the game, unlike Morocco who would have won 3-0 if a free kick in the first half wasn't ruled out for offside.
Belgium, who were lucky to beat Canada in their first game, now have a huge task on their hands to try and get out of the group and must hope that Canada can beat Croatia, a team that finished second at the last World Cup, in their second group game.
