Morocco put in a heroic performance to claim their biggest ever World Cup win by dumping out neighbours Spain on penalties to reach the quarter-finals for the first time.
And our Man of the Match is ā¦
The game may be over but we canāt be convinced that Amrabat isnāt still out on that field covering every blade of glass.
This was a titanic showing from the midfielder in the engine room as he won back possession, intercepted loose balls and screened everything around him.
There is a genuine case to be made that this was one of the finest individual showings of the tournament to date.
Particularly with how tired some of his team-mates became around him, he never showed a single sign of fatigue.
Amrabat todayĀ āĀ
He completed more successful tackles than any other player and was always perfect in his execution ā never committing a single foul.
This was the Fiorentina man at his inspiring, tigerish best with the kind of display that tires a viewer just from watching him.
It is Moroccoās finest night at a World Cup. And he was the catalyst for it.
