Morocco’s keeper Yassine Bounou had to make some incredible saves to keep the Portuguese out, and most probably did end up as the man of the match.
However, the drama did not seem to stop there. After the match, the Portuguese players went on a bizarre rant that somehow Argentina was behind all the bureaucracy at this year’s world cup.

He continued: “I don’t care. I’m gonna say what I think; f*ck them. It’s very strange that a referee from a country that still is in the cup. Clearly, they put things against us. It’s unacceptable not to have Portuguese referees and to have an Argentine referee in the competition.”
It is indeed very interesting to hear these comments coming from players such as Pepe and Bruno Fernandes. It will also be seen in the coming few days if their words have any kind of impact on the post-match proceedings.
