The previous day's, Saturday, December 11 football schedule featured the last two 2022 World Cup Quarter-Finals matchups. By defeating Cristiano Ronaldo and Portugal, Morocco made history by becoming the first African team to advance to the World Cup Semi-Fiinals.
As a result of a miscue by Portugal goalkeeper Diogo Costa, Walid Regragui's team and all of Africa celebrated a historic goal thanks to the efforts of the striker. Ronaldo, who had been kept on the bench by manager Fernando Santos, finally entered the game in the 51st minute but it was too late for the Selecao to mount a comeback.
Later, France became the last semifinalist with a 2-1 win over England. Aurelien Tchouameni opened the scoring with a magnificent long-range strike. Following the interval, Harry Kane scored a penalty kick to tie the game. Les Blues took the lead again in the dying minutes via Olivier Giroud, and thanks to Kane's spectacular miss on a second penalty shot, they held on for the victory.
