A major upset in the 2026 World Cup Round of 32: Morocco knocked out one of the tournament favourites, the Netherlands, winning 3-2 on penalties after a 1-1 draw through extra time at Monterrey Stadium. Cody Gakpo put the Dutch ahead in the second half before Morocco’s Issa Diop headed in an equaliser in the first minute of stoppage time to force spot-kicks. In the shootout, goalkeeper Yassine Bounou saved Crysencio Summerville’s fourth penalty and Ismael Saibari buried the winner (goals and shootout details via FIFA and several outlets).
