Morocco WC run ‘like a dream’: Amrabat

Midfielder Sofyan Amrabat said Morocco was living a “dream” after progressing to the World Cup (WC) semifinals with a 1-0 victory over Portugal on Saturday. Youssef En-Nesyri put the Atlas Lions ahead with a towering header on the stroke of halftime and they defended resolutely thereafter to become the first African team to reach the semifinals of football’s showpiece tournament. “It’s really unbelievable, I’m so proud. It’s like a dream – unbelievable we’re in the semifinal,” the 26-year-old Fiorentina player said. “We deserve this, 1000%. How we fight, how we play, with our heart for our country for the people – it’s unbelievable.”
