Morocco were unlikely winners of Group F, drawing with fellow knockout round participants Croatia and defeating group also-rans Belgium and Canada.
The African side present an energetic style that leads to entertaining matches, and now they'll face a stiff test in Spain in the last 16.
The Spaniards hammered Costa Rica 7-0 in their opening match, which proved a crucial result as they drew and lost their subsequent group matches and only topped Germany for second place in Group E by virtue of goals scored. It wasn't the prettiest of group stages for La Roja, but all that matters is that they've put themselves through to the knockouts.
