Why that goal was so special?
En-Nesyri leapt 2.78 metres as he made his header and scored a goal for the Atlas Lions, according to beIN Sports. In a match against Juventus during the 2019–2020 football season, En-2.78–meter Nesyri’s skilful move beat Ronaldo’s renowned 2.56–meter jump.
However, Ronaldo broke his own record when he leapt 2.93 metres against Manchester United while playing for his previous team Real Madrid in the 2013–2012 European League, according to the sports publication Goal. However, Morocco’s En-Nesyri jump continues to be a significant accomplishment that is being lauded by many.
Even Cristiano was impressed with that header.
The Portuguese football star’s reaction to En-Nesyri was covered by the British news source the Sun, which made clear that even he was “impressed.” The Sun reported that Ronaldo was speechless as he helplessly saw the action from the sidelines.
Worldwide celebrations of Morocco’s national team’s historic victory over Portugal are still going on. With their victory on Saturday, Morocco has officially qualified for the semi-finals as the first African and Arab nation. In the first four rounds of the 2022 World Cup, Morocco was undefeated, earning four victories and a scoreless tie.
Morocco will play France in the semifinals.
The defending champion France also made it to the semifinals along with Argentina, Croatia, and the African powerhouse Morocco, which made history by being the first African and Arab side to qualify for the last four at a FIFA World Cup.
The giant-killing team from the Qatar World Cup, the Atlas Lions, will play France on Thursday night, while Argentina will play Croatia in the first semifinal. The only other unbeaten team in this World Cup, Croatia, also advanced to the semifinals.
