OVERVIEW

Multi-week in and this is as of now adapting to be Cristiano Ronaldo's World Cup. Landing in Russia with a point to demonstrate having scored only three times by and large in three past competitions, he multiplied that count in one game against Spain. That Portugal got a draw from a match in which Spain was to a significant extent predominant was down exclusively to him.

Beside rubbing salt in the injuries of their Iberian opponents following the sacking of Spain mentor Julen Lopetegui, Ronaldo's late equaliser places Portugal in a stable position to fit the bill for the knockout stage on the off chance that they beat Morocco, in merely the second gathering between the two countries.

In any case, a little yet critical part of history is Morocco's ally. They beat Portugal 3-1 in the gathering phase of the 1986 World Cup; it was Morocco's first since forever win at the competition and Portugal's only World Cup misfortune against African restriction.

It is an accomplishment the Atlas Lions need to rehash; the second loss of this competition, combined with a positive outcome in the diversion amongst Spain and Iran, and Morocco are out.
