Morocco Beats Portugal: Viral videos of Sofiane Boufal and his mother show the two smiling big, dancing on the ground and enjoying the historic moment.

Qatar 2022: Morocco made history in Qatar Saturday as it became the first African team to reach semifinals of the prestigious event.

Morocco's Sofiane Boufal invited his mother onto the ground to celebrate with her and their images and videos dancing together are going viral on social media. The mother and son can be seen smiling big, enjoying the historic moment as they dance in circles, holding hands, in front of the crowd. Their actions are melting hearts across the internet.

Earlier, Morocco's Youssef En-Nesyri scored the only goal of the match when Portugal goalie Diogo Costa tried to punch the ball after running off his line but failed to get near it.

Portugal had started the game without their star player Ronaldo, who came as a substitute in the 51st minute. He failed to turn the game back in favour of Portugal. This was Ronaldo's fifth World Cup and he has most likely played his final World Cup match.

The two semifinals will be played on December 14 and 15. The teams losing the matches will play for third place on Saturday, December 17. The final will be played on Sunday, December 18.
