  • 52' It looks like no one’s ball. Morocco is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 57' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Jan Vertonghen made 385 appearances and scored 14 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
