00:00:00Thank you Guy, thank you Germaine. Let me just check something with you, Pablo, you did Mexico-Poland and that finished...

00:00:14No, no.

00:00:15And you did Uruguay-South Korea?

00:00:17No, no.

00:00:18No, no, no, don't laugh at me. If that game finished no, no, I give up with my punditry work.

00:00:25We know it's because of you.

00:00:26No, no, because I'm doing Argentina against Poland next game, and we need a win, we need three points, so I draw if not enough.

00:00:34Oh my God.

00:00:35Just the other thing to make you even more paranoid, this is the stadium with the joint most number of goals in the World Cup so far.

00:00:41Really? Don't bring us on it.

00:00:43As a defender, I'm always happy when I was playing, clean sheet and all that, but now I'm not playing anymore, I want to see goals.

00:00:49It's tough going actually, isn't it?

00:00:52Yeah, because the Moroccan team is really working really hard to put pressure on this Belgium team, and as you can see, they cannot find solutions.

00:01:02So they're struggling, they're struggling to get near the goals.

00:01:05Look, you can go nil-nil and go, fuck, it's not a great watch, but if you're looking at it from that coaching, tactical perspective, you have to applaud the Moroccans.

00:01:15I'm enjoying, I know Pablo is not enjoying, but I'm enjoying the way Morocco is playing, like the way they are structured, and the energy they are putting into the game.

00:01:24You see like the wingers are supporting the full-back, I like it, I see the players clapping in their hands, supporting each other, this is great energy, really great energy.

00:01:35So we will look at how they're defending in a moment, they could have very easily had a goal right on the stroke of half-time,

00:01:41which would have meant we wouldn't have done the last minute and a half, obviously.

00:01:45But he was interfering, I suppose.

00:01:48Yeah, it was hard for Courtois there, and you can see, it's clear, the defenders, just look how tired that was.

00:01:57And of course, that is a clear interference on Courtois, and the goal was disallowed, but it was a shame because I think Sigi put a really good ball into the box, and it could have been 1-0 for Morocco.

00:02:10Yeah, I think these are the kind of games where you can make the difference with a set-piece, like just seen, and unfortunately for Morocco it was an offside by just a little.

00:02:21So basically, the technology gives it offside, but then it's in the ref's discretion whether he's interfered with the view of Courtois, you would say he interfered with the view.

00:02:30Yeah, he interfered, so it was really hard for Courtois, but at the same time, you know, now the body counts, so it's clear of offside.

00:02:38Let's just clear up what went on pre-match for you with the change of Moroccan goalkeeper.

00:02:46Bono was there as the team sang the national anthem, and I can't believe we've done that graphic as a caption, but anyhow.

00:02:54He then complained to the coach that he had something wrong with his eyes by the looks of it.

00:03:00But look how calm the coach is, goes over with a smile to the replacement goalkeeper, and El Kaddoui then comes on, joins his team for the photo, and then plays that first 45 minutes.

00:03:15And actually, they weren't phased by it, he was very calm.

00:03:18Yeah, this is Walid Regraghi, and the way the team is playing, this is his spirit, this is the way he was as a player, and I see he's trying to share his energy to the teammates and to keep up the good spirit.

00:03:33Even though the goalkeeper is out, he goes to the new one and says, listen, you're the man, you can do it, and you will do it, I count on you.

00:03:40Let's look at what's impressed you then with Morocco, and their shape in particular, Laura.

00:03:45Yes, exactly, because we'll see that the shape is, they are really well structured.

00:03:49You see two lines, like against Croatia, it was the same way.

00:03:53So you could see like players stepping up, so every time the ball is played back by the Belgium, you can see like they are coming forward, pushing forward, and then they are coming back in the line.

00:04:04Really well structured, and you see in the middle, Sophie and Amrabat like leading the team, and guiding the team.

00:04:12And they are really patient, you know, they don't run at the players, they wait, and then they come, it's a 1v1.

00:04:18And then Didier, when they are on the attack, and then find themselves slightly out of position.

00:04:24Yeah, they lose the ball here, Hakimi loses the ball, and straight away, because they are already in a good position, Amrabat is there to close the gap, and the transition is perfect, and they win it again, and they start playing again.

00:04:38And the best way, I think, one of the ways to outstretch this team is to play this long ball, to get the support from Hazard and De Bruyne, and then they win the second ball, and then Belgium can play again.

00:04:53This is one of the options they can use to disturb this very good organised Moroccan team.

00:05:02It's their fifth game under Regawy, and they haven't conceded, and yet he's only been in charge since September.

00:05:11I mean, that's some coaching, isn't it?

00:05:15I'm sure he's doing defensive shape all day long in training, because you can really see it, the guy who spoke about it, how good they've been keeping that defensive shape really compact and really tight.

00:05:26Not allowing Belgium to find Hazard and Kevin De Bruyne in those spaces between lines.

00:05:32So, yeah, they've been a really good, consistent team defensively, and that's why they need it.

00:05:38And it means, really, that Belgium have been relying on half chances, haven't they?

00:05:41I mean, there's been nothing really clear-cut for them.

00:05:43No, it's a difficult day for them.

00:05:45There's no spaces, there's challenges, there's duels, and one against one, they always double up.

00:05:53And this is, I think, one of the few chances they manage to create.

00:05:57And good for Morocco, I think.

00:05:59They really are focused on this game.

00:06:04I mean, the solution can come from the set-pieces.

00:06:08We saw the corner with Onana's header.

00:06:11It didn't go through, and maybe the last goal, that has been disallowed.

00:06:15But I would say the difference between this game and the Belgium game against Canada is that now they're really building the game.

00:06:22You can see Onana is really asking for the ball, even screaming at Meunier.

00:06:27Even if Meunier has more experience, he's like, give me the ball.

00:06:30So we see that they are more patient, it's true, but Morocco is well-organised.

00:06:35We'll move on, then that gives us more time to talk Argentina and France, which I know you both want to do.

00:06:40The first game of the day, though, was between Japan and Costa Rica in Group E.

00:06:44This is what happened.

00:07:00They got the leveller against Germany.

00:07:03Couldn't find a team-mate with the pass.

00:07:10That's nicely worked, and Navas makes the first save of the game.

00:07:15But it was Morito who had the shy goal, and already Japan look a lot more lively than they did in the first half.

00:07:23Ooh, that's poor. Tejada, chance.

00:07:27Oh, it's in!

00:07:29Keisha Fuller, with a crucial goal for Costa Rica.

00:07:34Well, they've created next to nothing, but with less than ten minutes to go, they're in front.

00:07:41Disappointing for the Japanese goalkeeper.

00:07:45Joy for both Costa Rica and Argentina.

00:07:50For both Costa Rica and, you fancy, Germany as well.

00:07:55Now Matoma.

00:07:58Done well.

00:08:00Matoma, back across and surely in!

00:08:03No, Navas is there!

00:08:05Oh, Costa Rica somehow survive.

00:08:08Well, that could turn out to be a match-winning block.

00:08:13And just how costly will it be for Japan?

00:08:20Well, that result means that all four teams in Group A can still make the knockout stages.

00:08:24Germany could lose to Spain later and still make it through, although they would be reliant on other results.

00:08:29If Spain win tonight, they'd all but qualify thanks to that superior goal difference.

00:08:51Oh!

00:08:57This really is Waterloo Road.

00:09:00Before the new series starts, watch all episodes of Waterloo Road on BBC iPlayer.

00:09:08Two more live World Cup games on BBC One later,

00:09:11starting with Croatia against Canada in Group F after us,

00:09:15then followed by that huge match in Group A, Spain against Germany,

00:09:18Maurizio Pochettino in the studio with us for that one.

00:09:22And then once you've run out of the live football to watch,

00:09:25you can still watch our messy documentary on the iPlayer.

00:09:28And as well as all of Five Lives commentary, there's loads more World Cup content on BBC Sound.

00:09:33If you want more family football entertainment, then BBC iPlayer has got you covered.

00:09:38Are we ready for this?

00:09:40There's drama with Jamie Johnson.

00:09:43This is me, Corbett.

00:09:45What's done is done.

00:09:46Phoenix's reputation is on the line.

00:09:48And inspiring stories on the Football Academy.

00:09:51It's been the best five years of my life.

00:09:54We made it through to the finals.

00:09:56I just wish I could be a professional footballer now.

00:09:59Watch the best football shows together this winter on BBC iPlayer.

00:10:05Well, as we have an Argentinian international in the studio,

00:10:08we should really speak about last night's game in the La Salle Stadium

00:10:12and the moments of the tournament so far.

00:10:15Here's Fernandez.

00:10:17Mexico defended terrifically.

00:10:21They've switched off here, though.

00:10:22Messi from range!

00:10:25Argentina's saviour!

00:10:33He's done it again.

00:10:37Were you getting worried?

00:10:39Yes.

00:10:40I have to be honest.

00:10:42It wasn't a very good game.

00:10:44After the first half, there was so much tension.

00:10:49Of course, it was not a great performance by the whole team,

00:10:54but we have Lionel Messi.

00:10:56We need to rely on him.

00:10:58A classic Messi, always from outside the box.

00:11:01What a goal that was.

00:11:02Were you at the game?

00:11:03Yes, I was there.

00:11:04OK, you're still here.

00:11:07When he's just there watching...

00:11:09OK, I'm not working.

00:11:13I understand.

00:11:14I know there's loads of attention on Messi,

00:11:17but it also felt like the international audience

00:11:20were introduced to a potential superstar of the future last night.

00:11:23Yeah, and he's been outstanding for Benfica this season.

00:11:27Remember this guy, because I'm sure the next summer

00:11:30we'll go to some of the biggest clubs in Europe, for sure.

00:11:34I think Scaloni made a smart choice bringing him in,

00:11:40because he completely changed the game.

00:11:42He took control of the ball.

00:11:44He's a player that he was not afraid to play,

00:11:47to bring the ball forward,

00:11:49and he scored a beautiful goal, as we can see.

00:11:51A really, really good player.

00:11:53He's only 21.

00:11:54He's really young.

00:11:55He has great potential.

00:11:56Where's the Argentina of the 36th game unbeaten run

00:12:00gone at this World Cup?

00:12:02Because they look really sort of hesitant.

00:12:05We haven't seen the best of Argentina in the first two games.

00:12:09I know that before the World Cup,

00:12:11the expectation was high because of the 36th game unbeaten,

00:12:14and they both had a big momentum on the airports.

00:12:17Against Saudi Arabia, the same.

00:12:19Argentina was flat, not good enough.

00:12:21Yesterday, first half, really poor,

00:12:24and then, as I say, some of the soups last night

00:12:27made a big difference in the second half,

00:12:29and we'll see if Scotland can keep the same 11

00:12:32from the last 20 minutes of last night.

00:12:34A lot smoother for the French at the moment. Laura?

00:12:37You know, we've been a little bit worried,

00:12:40seeing a lot of players being injured,

00:12:43but the young ones are really stepping up.

00:12:45I still think, and Didier just mentioned it, if I can,

00:12:49we're still missing, like, a real leader.

00:12:52But the players are talented, and we are confident.

00:12:55We have Mbappé.

00:12:57In the middle, we have, like, he's playing for Real Madrid,

00:13:01and he's doing really great work,

00:13:03and he's doing great in the middle.

00:13:06And as long as they have Mbappé,

00:13:09you'd put them favourites for the tournament, wouldn't you?

00:13:12I think they're one of the favourites for the tournament

00:13:15because they won it in 2018,

00:13:20but a lot of players were injured,

00:13:23a lot of superstars that we're expecting,

00:13:25like Benzema and Pogba and Kante.

00:13:30But it's an opportunity for new players to come in,

00:13:33and they're still hungry, so they want to win it.

00:13:36So the combination of both experienced players

00:13:39and the new players coming, like Tremeni,

00:13:42put them in a real position to be one of the favourites.

00:13:45You want to avoid them in the second round, don't you?

00:13:48I mean, I know it worked out well in Russia four years ago,

00:13:51but don't you?

00:13:54I think we will take any team.

00:13:56I mean, this is what is interesting, to have young players,

00:13:59they are just enjoying, giving their best,

00:14:02committed to show the best.

00:14:04And yesterday, I just have to talk about this player.

00:14:07Upamecano in the back was so strong,

00:14:10like he has been playing for years in France for the national team.

00:14:14Outstanding.

00:14:16And at the moment, you can't really choose, can you?

00:14:18You just need to get through.

00:14:20It's down for Argentina at the moment.

00:14:22Big win against Poland, it's all we need.

00:14:25Right, both teams are back out.

00:14:28Obviously, lots of things at stake for both Belgium and Morocco in this game,

00:14:33but also remember Pablo's BBC punditry is at stake in this next 45 minutes.

00:14:39Back to Jermaine and Guy.

00:14:44Thank you, Mark.

00:14:46Back to the hope of goals in this group.

00:14:51Just the two scored still.

00:14:56Croatia against Canada to come later.

00:15:02Morocco thought they had, just on the stroke of half-time.

00:15:09Seems like it was the right decision, though.

00:15:11Jermaine Sainz offside as he made his burst to try and get his head to the ball.

00:15:16And it is Morocco who get the second half going.

00:15:23The only previous time that Morocco qualified from the group stage at a World Cup was in 1986,

00:15:28and they started with two 0-0 draws against Poland and against England.

00:15:35I think with Canada to come last, Jermaine, they'd probably quite happily take 0-0 today.

00:15:42Well, yeah, you'd think so, but...

00:15:46You also don't want to get yourself into a rut of not being creative and scoring goals.

00:15:52And from what I watch of that Canada team, they're more than capable of causing you problems.

00:15:58It's definitely not a game where it's a guaranteed win.

00:16:03As Belgium would testify.

00:16:05Let's run away from Thorgan Hazard.

00:16:08Same question now, is at the start of the first half, really,

00:16:10what do either side have to do better to get a goal or two?

00:16:14Well, from Belgium's point of view, we touched on it in the first half,

00:16:17that everything's too slow.

00:16:19The way they move the ball across the back, everybody's taking too many touches.

00:16:22So, it enables Morocco to get back into shape,

00:16:26it enables, I'm sorry, it closes down the space and the time that

00:16:29they need to be able to get back into shape.

00:16:32It enables Morocco to get back into shape, it enables, I'm sorry,

00:16:35it closes down the space and the time that their creative players get on the ball.

00:16:39So, they need to do something about that.

00:16:43And I think with Morocco, they weren't that far off it.

00:16:46I'd like to see the ball down this right-hand side a little bit more,

00:16:49with this right-back Hakimi and Hakim Ziyech,

00:16:52we know they are the genuine quality in this team, so...

00:16:56But they'll be very happy with the way they finish the half.

00:17:00We have time for Saïs to find out Kajoy.

00:17:09Witzel.

00:17:16Gnana.

00:17:17Thorgan Hazard will try and pick up the pace here.

00:17:20He's always third favourite.

00:17:22I think they've had a little bit of a shift in shape as well.

00:17:25Belgium has kind of had a look at letting it play out a little bit more,

00:17:28but I think Thorgan Hazard looks like he's going to play a little bit higher.

00:17:35Morocco throw.

00:17:41Hakimi.

00:17:46It's the bundling over of Poufal that came courtesy of Thorgan Hazard.

00:17:50He's a box of tricks, isn't he?

00:17:51Poufal is here to entertain, you know that much.

00:17:58Ziyech in charge of this.

00:18:07I think I just told him to hang on.

00:18:09He didn't.

00:18:14Over Batshuayi.

00:18:16Eden Hazard.

00:18:24You see, even that...

00:18:25I think if Batshuayi turns on that, Kevin De Bruyne is in.

00:18:31He's quite happy with that.

00:18:32Meunier had made the error with the pass in the first place,

00:18:35but blocked off the run.

00:18:37He left quite happy.

00:18:38There wasn't anything sinister in it.

00:18:43Gnana.

00:18:56Gnana gives it away.

00:18:59Ziyech.

00:19:03Caught in between two in Belgian red and black.

00:19:07Morocco coach Walid Regraghi was asking for a free kick,

00:19:11and that's how it's been given now.

00:19:13It was. He's late.

00:19:19It's twice that Amrabat's taken it.

00:19:23And the referee wasn't content with him doing so.

00:19:25First time ball was moving, second time wrong place.

00:19:33Meunier.

00:19:35De Bruyne.

00:19:38Eden Hazard.

00:19:41Another take to tumble.

00:19:43Ziyech.

00:19:48And Niziri.

00:19:53Ziyech faced by Witzel.

00:19:55Not for long, though.

00:19:56Shifted the ball nicely.

00:19:58Shot straight down the middle.

00:19:59Yeah, you could see what he wanted to do.

00:20:01As soon as he faces up Witzel here,

00:20:03he knows he's got the beating of him,

00:20:04just shifts it onto his left side.

00:20:06Didn't quite get hold of it.

00:20:09Courtois sees it all the way.

00:20:10Easy save for him.

00:20:15Morocco pressure in the early stages of this second half.

00:20:18De Bruyne.

00:20:22Couldn't stay under the boots of Batshuayi.

00:20:28It's not quite working for him.

00:20:31Martinez has got to be

00:20:33having a little glance at Makaku

00:20:35and asking him if he fancies

00:20:39a few minutes at some point.

00:20:48He did say he was ahead of schedule.

00:20:50And he's recovering from a hamstring strain.

00:20:54Just not ready to start this one.

00:21:02Eduardo back to Courtois.

00:21:10De Bruyne.

00:21:12Batshuayi.

00:21:14Let's Eden Hazard take over.

00:21:18Running at pace.

00:21:20And he's passed him.

00:21:21And Eden Hazard's had a go.

00:21:24And Cashuai got across nicely.

00:21:28We're starting to get a bit of action now.

00:21:30Nice little drop of the shoulder from Eden Hazard.

00:21:32I think it might just be

00:21:34going into the side netting, but

00:21:36Maneel was not supposed to...

00:21:38He wasn't to know that.

00:21:39Had to get across.

00:21:40Make the save.

00:21:49Batshuayi's on the move in the box.

00:21:51It's over him.

00:21:53And Onana...

00:21:55I think might have taken that away

00:21:57from Vertonghen who was prime behind him.

00:21:59He seemed frustrated, Vertonghen, like

00:22:01he had a better opportunity.

00:22:05And he's got a chance.

00:22:07And he's got a chance.

00:22:09And he's got a chance.

00:22:11And he's got a chance.

00:22:13And he's got a chance.

00:22:15And he's got a chance.

00:22:16And he's got a chance.

00:22:19Yeah, he did. You could see

00:22:20whether it was a shout or not, though,

00:22:22from Vertonghen. I don't know.

00:22:29You're right, though, Germain.

00:22:30Both ends of the pitch,

00:22:32just a little bit more going on.

00:22:33Yeah.

00:22:36I think the more that

00:22:37Morocco believe

00:22:39they can go and get a goal,

00:22:40the more the game will just slightly open up

00:22:42and those spaces will start to appear

00:22:45for Belgium to go and attack.

00:22:47So it will just allow the game to open up.

00:22:51And Rabat.

00:22:55Ziyech.

00:22:56Foul.

00:22:57Blocked off by Witsel.

00:22:58Not given.

00:22:59It's a foul, though.

00:23:01Torgan Hazard.

00:23:04Onana.

00:23:05It is opening up now.

00:23:07Amunie is galloping.

00:23:10Didn't look.

00:23:12Just a poor ball.

00:23:15He's never going to get there.

00:23:19Onana retrieves for Belgium.

00:23:22De Bruyne.

00:23:35De Bruyne has just managed to evade

00:23:37Ziyech. Here's Eden Hazard.

00:23:40Torgan Hazard's cross.

00:23:41Off the boot of Amr Rabat.

00:23:42Nice and easy for

00:23:44Ramire Alcazua.

00:23:52Amr Rabat is a really big player for this team

00:23:54in that midfield area.

00:23:55Gets through a lot of work.

00:24:01Here he is now.

00:24:03Trying to get his team ticking over.

00:24:10Gain some possession in this game.

00:24:15And of course supporters have found their voices again.

00:24:21Again.

00:24:40Amr Rabat.

00:24:47Onana's here. He was on the move.

00:24:50Ziyech has got his arm in the air

00:24:52on the right of it all.

00:24:56Onana's tackle is good.

00:24:59Amalat.

00:25:04Hakimi.

00:25:09Hakimi is on to it.

00:25:11The tackles are coming in

00:25:12and they're all clean and fair at the moment.

00:25:16I won't be worried about that wall of noise behind him.

00:25:26They're moving it a bit better there in those moments.

00:25:28Just a poor choice there from Torgan Hazard.

00:25:30He's got to be careful.

00:25:31He's got to be careful.

00:25:32He's got to be careful.

00:25:33He's got to be careful.

00:25:34He's got to be careful.

00:25:35He's got to be careful.

00:25:36He's got to be careful.

00:25:37He's got to be careful.

00:25:38A poor choice there from Torgan Hazard.

00:25:42They look so much better when they do that.

00:25:44It's just one-two touch, one-two touch.

00:25:45It's just when they slow it down,

00:25:46they just look so easy to play against.

00:25:50Belgian.

00:26:00Amr Rabat.

00:26:09West Ham.

00:26:12West Ham.

00:26:14West Ham.

00:26:16West Ham.

00:26:19Ziyech.

00:26:21It's one of a chance to take it all the way over

00:26:25to Dufaul.

00:26:26Dufaul has come in to have a go.

00:26:34But what a bit of skill this is.

00:26:35and that open that corner just opens up for him he just couldn't quite get the bend on it

00:26:41it's a great angle this opens up his stance tries to bend it into that corner really good play though

00:26:48from Bouffal and Ziyech with the switch of play they're the two that's going to get the job done

00:26:55if they win this game Morocco in an attacking sense or put Amrabat into the mix as well but

00:27:00in an attacking sense Bouffal's been the player who's caught the eye the most this evening

00:27:04yeah it is it is evening here just about

00:27:12normally Southampton with Angers in France now helped on

00:27:20Morocco supporters were shouting more louder than the players

00:27:23that's your eye yeah no support

00:27:39he was caught as soon as he had it forward towards Mnaziri

00:27:43that was always going to be difficult to do it was but he's the

00:27:48just a little bit he's the one that's pulled short in my opinion Mnaziri at that top end

00:27:53it's not offering enough at the minute

00:27:58much better game now much better much better

00:28:03well Jamal preparing a change and steering forward Dries Mertens coming on

00:28:14not the only one Louis Tielemans is getting ready too

00:28:24yeah two good changes I think he's we expect uh Onana to be

00:28:31one of the players coming off given he's on a already on a yellow card but

00:28:36feels like they need more creative players in there and Louis Tielemans would definitely

00:28:40offer a bit more on the ball or a lot more on the ball anyway

00:28:54Witzel

00:29:11Castagne

00:29:15so

00:29:35that's good defending from Onana might be his last it is Tielemans will now replace him

00:29:44you know he's disappointed Onana but I don't think he's been quite good enough today on the ball

00:29:49not taking enough risks with his passing and too safe the yellow card that he got means that he

00:29:54won't be playing the next game against Croatia on Thursday and Eden Hazard makes way too for

00:29:59Dries Mertens to come on

00:30:04the home band is passed to Kevin De Bruyne

00:30:06he's now playing at his third world cup he's been at the last two scoring in each

00:30:19scoring against Algeria eight years ago Tanamar four years ago

00:30:24what you could do with him getting a goal again in 2022

00:30:28cooling out again taking every available second

00:30:42trying to get busy once more

00:30:46Masraoui

00:30:54Hakimi

00:30:58Taken turn from Amalar

00:31:03strike bobbles its way wide from Masraoui that's wasted he's gaining some good yards there in the

00:31:11final third like I said before beating Courtois from there you're never gonna do it with a strike

00:31:17like that it's just get the ball to Soufelle get the ball to Ziyech get Hakimi in the game a little

00:31:25bit more all these players that's where the quality is the rest of the team actually functions

00:31:29really well

00:31:39a little ripple of applause you may have just heard there was for Romelu Lukaku starting to

00:31:43warm up again it's a message being sent by the Belgium supporters they're desperate for something

00:31:50I don't know how fit Lukaku is but he's had nothing at the top end of the pitch today

00:32:04Vertonghen

00:32:13Witzel

00:32:14Amrapat so quickly into every tackle

00:32:23De Bruyne

00:32:26foot from Thorgan Hazard didn't work he's fortunate to get it back there's Batshuayi

00:32:32almost through for Mertens now the flag is up you were suggesting Germain it might have been up

00:32:37earlier against Batshuayi it was clear that's why it's not even close look how far offside is

00:32:42just put your flag up

00:33:01again

00:33:06Amrapat

00:33:12he did brilliantly incredible

00:33:29Ziyech

00:33:30Hakimi

00:33:33Hakimi

00:33:35Portois let it go Buffalo will keep it in vital headed touch that from Vertonghen

00:33:42it's a huge head up from Vertonghen there's a good cutback as well from

00:33:46Buffalo who's getting the his fans going waving his arms about

00:33:52it did so well just to get that back in play Anthony Nasseri was

00:33:55nearly there for a tap in it's beautiful volley back across goal

00:33:59Vertonghen just stays alert it's a good clearance he's been different class though

00:34:10Hakimi another Vertonghen header when it comes to Belgium's aid

00:34:15Tielemans just the way he was leaving it for Mertens a little bit of confusion

00:34:23Morocco are having a moment

00:34:29he called it yesterday said we can't give Belgium problems in midfield

00:34:36and here's De Bruyne causing them a problem upfield for the Red Devils not for long

00:34:42it's been the story of their half so far

00:34:45Witsel Tieleman's challenge won the ball Torgan Nassar Mertens good effort from Mertens

00:34:55straight up Mounir Abkhazoui and the bounce away from him was a kind one for Morocco

00:35:02it's quality though the way he goes by the midfield he's just trying to give the keeper

00:35:07the eyes and whip it into that corner it's decent enough save from Mounir he should save it but

00:35:16a little bit of magic from Dries Mertens there

00:35:21Witsel

00:35:36Vertonghen

00:35:50Witsel, De Bruyne, Torgan Nassar

00:35:58Tieleman's trying to win the header Mounir taking the long route kept it in somehow

00:36:05Abkhazoui now Abkhazoui's shot big deflection in fact it was a block more than a deflection and

00:36:13I think the flag was going to go up anyway I think it goes out

00:36:16I don't quite understand why the referees and the officials are taking so long as to make a decision

00:36:30two Morocco substitutions about to happen

00:36:34here Atiyah Thaler is coming on I wonder if that means Mousraoui can't continue or is it

00:36:49Hakeemi struggling the first change is going to be Amal Ardh is going to be replaced

00:36:56and on comes Atiyah Thaler who came on at full back in the first game replacing

00:37:03the injured Mousraoui the other substitution is going to see the former Huddersfield town man

00:37:09Abdelhamid Sabiri take the field

00:37:16and it is Hakeemi going off he was a doubt with a a twinge to his thigh

00:37:22and it's ended his game early he's not been able to have the influence that I'm sure

00:37:26he would have loved to have in particular more in this second half hopefully it's just a

00:37:32precaution just to keep looking after him into the into that third game

00:37:40it means that Mousraoui will switch to right back and Atiyah Thaler will play on the left

00:37:44so

00:37:54the tongue

00:37:58that's right with his hands

00:38:06so

00:38:28Atiyah Thaler

00:38:29that's a good introduction to the game Dufau really enjoying himself

00:38:37who now he urged to shoot just not like that the crowd were begging him to hit it out their way

00:38:45but it came all their way it's got to be hard though when you see your home fans behind that

00:38:52stadium your eyes light up thinking this is my moment just needs to be calm putting that extra

00:38:57pass the pressure's building again though

00:39:10so

00:39:25witzel

00:39:30oh

00:39:37the time

00:39:50so

00:39:56rather than flowing they don't move though

00:39:59they literally play in their shape there's no overlaps there's nobody kind of just dropping

00:40:03into into holes or someone just to go by somebody it's just we'll sit in our shape and pass it from

00:40:10A to B

00:40:25it's that time again to mark your card about what's coming later on

00:40:29this world cup sunday on BBC one croatia against canada today from 3 40 and the 4 pm kickoff

00:40:37that's the other game in this group we're no closer to knowing who's qualifying spain against

00:40:41germany tonight one of the truly great world cup clashes 6 30 p.m and then on tuesday

00:40:48it's the final round of games in group b and it's wales against england from 6 p.m

00:41:00again on the slide he's very happy with himself and making that

00:41:04interception to stop that's your eye getting anywhere near the ball

00:41:12you foul absolutely full of confidence

00:41:16he's been electric that's misjudged by munia is at yet a lot

00:41:24does this a lot mania rash makes unnecessary fouls he's going nowhere just stand up on your feet

00:41:34a clumsy one

00:41:41two more morocco substitutions are they going to do it now or wait until the free kick

00:41:47and there is that candela they are going to do it now and zachariah abu clark

00:41:55hamdallah is a real girlfriend

00:41:57he's coming on for in naziri who's worked with no reward he's been poor

00:42:06in this area i'm not surprised that he'll be going off

00:42:14i've got graphics right then safian bufas coming off as well wow didn't expect that

00:42:21this is just tired but he's getting a brilliant reception

00:42:24from his fans because he's been great today you felt

00:42:31here come the reinforcements

00:42:37flight for light winger for winger striker for striker

00:42:49whipped in oh it's gone in this time

00:42:51like will this one count same trick

00:43:01this time sabiri had the idea

00:43:13lightning has struck twice against roberto martinez team

00:43:22and del hamid sabiri

00:43:26breaks the deadlock at the alpha mama stadium

00:43:33belgium rocked morocco rocking well it's been coming and it's the exact same piece

00:43:41just on the other side it's whipped in with pace there's no doubt the court is not going

00:43:47to be happy when he sees it back it's so easy again so he's in the same spot but i think this

00:43:53time he's managed to keep himself on side and have another look at it

00:44:02but it's the same set piece load up that front post

00:44:05whip it in with pace cause some problems and it's caught them out for the second time

00:44:11two belgium changes they were ready with them anyway

00:44:14torgan azad and mishi batshuayi have gone off leandro trossard who's having such a good

00:44:19season with brighton comes on and so does charlotte de caetalara

00:44:24he's not exactly riffing up trees with ac milan so far and he needs to do something here i think

00:44:30those changes as well probably tell us that the car is not ready yet he's still going to keep

00:44:37he's still going to keep warming up

00:44:43belgium nil morocco one the former terrier ex-huddersfield town man abdelhamid sabiri

00:44:51has a world cup goal and there's the ashes morocco go looking for another

00:44:56castaña reacted in the nick of time

00:45:09so i'm trying to make a difference

00:45:39that's on

00:45:43there's been a lot of negative chatting around this belgium squad about their

00:45:49capabilities at this year's tournament talk of an agent team got themselves a corner courtesy

00:45:56of trossard as it stands right now the two games that i've watched it's all true they need to wake

00:46:03up

00:46:08well they got away with it against canada

00:46:15pedestrian again they're being punished by morocco

00:46:21pedestrian and predictable mertens ball in

00:46:24and that was good enough that ball into the middle

00:46:40nobody touched it and it's a morocco goal kick it's just good defending at that post

00:46:47everyone jumped fairly

00:46:48just really really good defending i think it's again

00:47:01just making sure no one gets on the end of that

00:47:11there is real excitement in the air right around the stadium

00:47:2118th world cup finals game for morocco only two wins from the previous 17

00:47:28and it's portugal in 1986 against scotland in 1998

00:47:33this would surely be their most famous win to date at the finals

00:47:42this fan base have played their part today there's no doubt in that these players have lifted

00:47:48themselves the energy in the stadium has been electric all game

00:47:53strong center back and that's where he's tucked in

00:48:08trosser

00:48:12shunted out wherever it would go by saiz

00:48:22there needs to be less of of that there's still a long way to go in this game and they can't panic

00:48:27morocco done so well to get themselves into this position still need cool heads

00:48:36but running with a touch the catalano was slow

00:48:39stopped in his tracks by telemans

00:48:54trusser

00:48:58that's the first hurdle but he's going to be beaten in the race to the ball now

00:49:09so

00:49:22only five games in to being the head coach of his country

00:49:27going to the job after one season at widad of casablanca won the title and the african

00:49:31champions league the cv was right he's got his team right carrying on the work done by

00:49:37vahid halilhodzic and adding to it by bringing back the likes of zia shakimi

00:49:44mizraoui and abdurraza kandala now lukaku is going to get a few minutes

00:50:01so

00:50:12witzel waiting for the ball to bounce then caught

00:50:15zs knows he has caught him in the rescue mirovka can't believe that both went together

00:50:23i think zh comes over the top here with his studs showing

00:50:26and he wins the ball clearly we'd like to think the referee would look here and say it's just

00:50:32two high legs too high feet going for the ball nothing in it zh gets there first just a free

00:50:38kick but it looks like he's given a free kick to belgium and they're going to make the change

00:50:44now tomomuni is going to go off and on will come romelu lukaku not at 100 percent

00:50:52but needs must for roberto martinez and his team

00:50:56they need the record scorer more than twice as many goals for his country as anybody else

00:51:06or just his presence make you think different

00:51:22making his presence felt by getting into a little battle with

00:51:25again and say he's in the middle as they waited for the ball there

00:51:40referee has seen lukaku who's now having a bit of a dispute with el yamik

00:51:52the tongan just wide

00:51:58yeah good delivery ripped him with pace i think but someone just catches the flight of it

00:52:03before aguirre was trying to guide it into that corner it's always going to be difficult

00:52:10though from that kind of range to get the power he needed on it

00:52:22since 1994 13 unbeaten across four world cups

00:52:29last time they lost was to a famous goal to saudi arabia in the wandering run of saeed al-awarden

00:52:52along the cusp of losing to morocco here

00:52:57it would be the first time they'd lost in the world cup to african opposition

00:53:08witzel

00:53:14a bit more energy and roberto martinez now prowling around the edge of this technical area

00:53:22it's left for lukaku it bounces away

00:53:38well every challenge is cheered at the minute as you take another look at the goal

00:53:44whipped in it's got dip on it into that area

00:53:48saeed knows he knows it's going in just leaves it

00:53:53and cortois has to be aware of that at the near pose especially

00:53:57given the fact it happened right at the end of the first half

00:54:03castaño

00:54:06confronted by ati et alar

00:54:10assistance to tabu club

00:54:11um

00:54:41blue cloud he's forced back to morocco can work it forward now zeesh wants it

00:54:48and dalla will go to the middle and he's just going to run away truss arts back as the cover

00:54:52if he plays it leandro trussard he's not on the pitch to do that but he recognized there was a

00:54:58job to do shanked out this time by el yamik

00:55:05i sense the determination from those morocco players

00:55:11glancing at one another they're revving each other up there are five minutes of the 90 to go

00:55:16at one another they're revving each other up there are five minutes of the 90 to go

00:55:25i do club and i do class got through

00:55:30and the viral was wise to him and had the legs

00:55:36mertens he was taken late

00:55:39so

00:55:57time for another go into the feet of mertens who makes a run in front of agair but then

00:56:03an air shot now just call defending from agair i think mertens just lost his balance a little bit

00:56:15zeesh

00:56:18oh jamal there to be picked off as they commit numbers forward

00:56:26frustration for witzeling conceding a foul he's throwing everything at it martinez in terms of

00:56:31his creative players

00:56:35we've all had a go

00:56:38the ones that have been taken off but trussard mccarthur mertens

00:56:43telemans catalana is a lot of forward thinking players so you're right guy

00:56:49they're there to be picked off again if morocco just can find the right pass at the right time

00:56:54morocco's mission is a sixth successive clean sheet two at this world cup

00:57:03against a team that's only failed to score in one of its last 52 games

00:57:08and that was against the netherlands at the end of september it's a run that stretches back to

00:57:12the semi-final of the last world cup you know this they're going to be really tested here morocco

00:57:17so

00:57:34trussard gets the angle

00:57:40witzel who's next to set things up you can see how well drilled they are as soon as that

00:57:43header goes clear they clear the box they get out organize it's going to go over lukaku and again

00:57:50could let it go and he's the next morocco player to pump his fists and wave his hands to the crowd

00:57:57who have been magnificent yeah i think to him to a man on the pitch they've been absolutely brilliant

00:58:07they deserve the win it's just whether they can get it over the line

00:58:10number 11 who's celebrating his 26th birthday which was yesterday it's on present now

00:58:23belgium mill morocco won and we're in the closing stages

00:58:29belgium free kick

00:58:44the ranking said it would be belgium and croatia cruising out of this group

00:58:49well belgium might have won their first game against canada but

00:58:52the unfancied canadians prove that it's not going to be as easy as that no again spoke more about

00:59:00belgium than it did anything else really how much more work has needed to be done and it was

00:59:06clear again to see today morocco did similar in holding croatia

00:59:14coach regragi said after that outcome great gives us more confidence haven't we seen that

00:59:22before this outcome beyond great for morocco if it is the outcome

00:59:29they've got some hanging on and deep defending to do before the end

00:59:40played in for truss are to try and get to it

00:59:42now the viral

00:59:55the world to collect that it was behind him

00:59:59the catalana loses out and look at this for morocco

01:00:07it's just gonna have to be held for a while

01:00:12witzel made it hard with courtois help but a corner is one

01:00:18right hand down there anyway yeah it's brilliant did what he had to do he did exactly that we

01:00:22mentioned that they'd be there to be picked off but as the angle got tight it was just

01:00:27keep the ball and he managed to do exactly that

01:00:32would you believe it as we enter injury time it is morocco's first corner of the match

01:00:43at least five minutes to go

01:00:54remember that

01:00:57telemans will have to time his challenge

01:01:01and morocco fans are unhappy with that going against them

01:01:06off goes the tongue and belgium have to do something that's looked alien to them

01:01:10do things quickly yeah

01:01:15bit of magic from somebody seems that all have got left really i'm not shown as anything all game

01:01:25now the vinyls gets it wrong and he's looking for that run in from the right

01:01:32from the catalana he didn't mean to put it straight down the middle as he did

01:01:37no i've seen him hit balls like that many a time but

01:01:41that was a poor one martinez is saying just relax three and a half minutes to go

01:01:52i'm sure it's time to relax you need to get a goal get what he's saying but

01:01:58ritzel he's lost out

01:02:03zs pulls it back it's another

01:02:07abu cloud makes it two and morocco are there

01:02:28so

01:02:35this is huge

01:02:39this world cup of upsets delivers another

01:02:46well you could sense it coming and it's just for one long ball they win the header

01:02:52and this is another player who's just been fantastic all evening long hakim zh with a

01:03:00bit of skill down this right hand side to step over to get the bit of space

01:03:09with a brilliant finish

01:03:15to put his country two nil up in a huge huge game

01:04:35in a resigned way oh whitsell relaxing too much caught again that's summed up his night

01:04:42his evening he recovers but not well enough amrabat flags up and it has gone to belgium

01:04:50and vertonghen's been caught there as he booted it in de bruna's direction
