Morocco claimed one of the biggest shocks of the tournament as they knocked Spain out of the World Cup on penalties - reaching their first ever quarter-final in their history of the tournament. 

Every single player in their squad who featured were warriors on the night and left nothing on the pitch as they frustrated Spain and refused to let them play to their full ability - putting their bodies on the line to thwart their passing system.
