Boufal made his mother dance after the historic qualification in Morocco | VIDEO

The Morocco team continues to amaze at the Qatar 2022 World Cup and made history by becoming the first African nation to reach the semifinals of the tournament. This Saturday, the ‘Lions of the Atlas’ beat Portugal 1-0 and there was a great celebration on the field, which left an emotional scene starring Sofiane Boufal and her mother.

Youssef En-Nesyri’s goal, after 42 minutes, was enough to determine the victory of the Moroccan team, which once again displayed its collective power, both to defend and attack. And, after enduring the Portuguese onslaught, the final whistle by Argentine referee Facundo Tello started the festivities.

Immediately, after greeting his teammates, Boufal went to one of the stands of the Al Thumama Stadium in Doha and began looking for his mother. The talented 29-year-old midfielder found her progenitor and brought her down to the pitch, so she can join him in this historic milestone.

Precisely, Sofiane took her mother’s hands and made her dance, to the rhythm of the effusive songs of the fans of the Moroccan team. Then, with a big smile on his face, the Angers player hugged his relative and left the place, while receiving the applause of the fans.

In the same way, Boufal shared the postcard with her mother on social networks, thanking God for the important sporting result she achieved with her national team. The mission of having a leading role in the World Cup was more than fulfilled.
