Spain coach Fernando Hierro has admitted that Morocco deserved to make it to the last 16 of the World Cup tournament in Russia.
After picking only one point in their first two Group stage matches against Portgual and Iran, the Atlas Lions were eliminated from the tournament before the match against Spain.
However, coach Hierro believes the North Africans deserved to stay in the tournament longer after they put in a fine performance to come away with a 2-2 draw in their match with Spain.
The Moroccans were the first to find the back of the net after Khalib Boutaib capitalised on a horrific giveaway by Spain.
