Morocco and Spain occupy different continents, though they separated by just eight miles. The two nations’ soccer histories, however, are separated by far more than that.Morocco is making just its second appearance in the round of 16 and first since 1986 while Spain, a former World Cup champion, has missed the knockout rounds just once this century. But in this tournament unbeaten Morocco has arguably been the better team, winning a group that included No.
On offense the Moroccans have been incredibly efficient, getting four goals from four different players on 21 shots. Only four teams finished group play with fewer shots. Spain, which lost its group-play finale to Japan to finish second, pounded Costa Rica 7-0 in its opener but has gotten just two goals, both from Álvaro Morata, since then. Morata finished group play tied for the tournament lead with three scores.
Buoyed by its performance against Costa Rica, Spain has completed a World Cup-best 2,384 passes in the group stage, marking the return of the short-passing, possession-based style of play the team perfected in its 2010 title run. Spain also tied England for the scoring lead with nine goals in group play.Portugal’s Cristiano Ronaldo, left and South Korea’s Kim Young-gwon vie for the ball during a match on Friday.
