Morocco registered a 2-0 win over Belgium and strengthened their quest for a last 16 berth at the 2022 FIFA World Cup on Sunday afternoon.
Romelu Lukaku was named on the bench by Belgium, who recalled Amadou Onana, Thorgan Hazard and Thomas Meunier, while Munir Mohamedi was drafted in goal for Morocco minutes before kick-off.
Belgium worked the first chance where on five minutes Michy Batshuayi charged in behind the defence off a through ball and brought a low save from goalkeeper Mohamedi with a teasing shot.

A pretty even period around the middle of the first half resulted in an opening for the Atlas Lions where Hakim Ziyech worked an angle outside the box and fizzled a shot narrowly over target.
Morocco directed further entries up top and were ahead before halftime through a curling free-kick by Ziyech, but it was chalked off after a pitch-side review noted an offside in the build-up.
The Red Devils targeted a quick opener in the second half when Eden Hazard skipped past Romain Saiss from a fast break and a thumping shot brought a sharp stop out of Mohamedi.
Roberto Martinez made a double substitution a little to 15 minutes inside the second period, with Onana removed for Youri Tielemans and Dries Mertens restored for Eden Hazard.
It was Morocco however that got the opening goal around the last ten minutes when a free-kick from a tight angle by Abdelhamid Sabiri beat the wall and Thibaut Courtois to find the net.
The Atlas Lions made it two in added time after Ziyech dropped out wide and cutback for Zakaria Aboukhlal to find the top corner, with Lukaku introduced by the Red Devils.
In a tense remaining seconds, the Atlas Lions ran down the closing few exchanges and claimed a famous win.
