    Poor sportsmanship again from CR7. This World Cup has been redeemed (sort of) because of the drama and football on the pitch. CR7 is now as his shirt says No 7 not No 1

    Class act Ronaldo straight down the tunnel with no acknowledgement for fans, teammates nor opponents. I'm a United fan but ta-ra.

    Ronaldo the gift that keeps on taking..... not an ounce of class, walking off and not congratulating Moroccan players or consoling younger members of his own squad. Glad to see the back of him.

    It's 20 minutes since the full-time whistle and there are still thousands of Morocco fans inside the ground. Imagine the scenes in Casablanca, where it is approaching 6.20pm. It's going to be a long night of celebrations.

    Morocco will meet the winners of England-France, which kicks-off at 19:00 GMT, in the semi-finals.

    Portugal are out, Cristiano Ronaldo has gone and, beneath me, Pepe is gesturing wildly and complaining about something in his post-match interview.

    Morocco, meanwhile celebrated wildly with their fans and posed for a massive post-match photo before starting a lap of honour.

    Sofiane Boufal is soaking it all up, hugging his mum.

    It's lump in the throat stuff.

    They can't control themselves in the celebrations. Incredible scenes, down on their knees thanking the fans.

    Dominic from Nottingham

    Wow what a great performance by Morocco. Knocked out 2 heavyweights of European football. Absolutely brilliant.

    Meanwhile, Morocco's celebrations inside the stadium carry on.

    Achraf Hakimi has spotted his mum in the crowd again. He's struggling to reach her but he just about manages to do so and they kiss.

    Great scenes.

    Ronaldo and his fake tears. He should be on the pitch congratulating Morocco.

    Ben D

    Well that summed up the latest version of Ronaldo. No acknowledgement of Morocco or the fans, all about himself. Just walked off. Poor do.

  11. FT: Morocco 1-0 Portugal

    No World Cup winners' medal and no club for Cristiano Ronaldo. What now for the 37-year-old?

    Meanwhile, there are jubilant scenes on the pitch as Morocco's celebrations get started.

    Boss Walid Regragui is being hoisted into the air by his players.

    There are tears of joy in the Morocco crowd.

    Cristiano Ronaldo walked straight off the pitch on his own at the final whistle, and was in tears as he went down the tunnel.

    His World Cup dream is over.

  13. Ronaldo in tears

    FT: Morocco 1-0 Portugal

    Just when you think you have seen everything at this World Cup...

    Morocco have delivered an incredible upset.

    Portugal are out of the World Cup and Cristiano Ronaldo is in TEARS.

    They've done it!

    The Atlas Lions are roaring into the history books.

    Morocco are the first team from Africa to reach the World Cup semi-finals.

  15. Morocco 1-0 Portugal

    Huge chance for Pepe inside the six yard box but he puts his header wide!

    That was the moment. Surely Morocco are over the line now...

  16. Morocco 1-0 Portugal

    Pat Nevin
    Former Scotland winger on BBC Radio 5 Live

    Morocco are absolutely running on fumes, they've changed the system a few times but they need to put someone up there a bit.

    They need to have someone who will give them some sort of outlet otherwise it will just be wave after wave for the next few minutes.

  17. Morocco 1-0 Portugal

    One minute left. Morocco are on the brink of history...

    Oliver: That is not extra mature play from Cheddira.

    AP: Two of the softest yellows you'll ever see. The softest red you'll ever see.

  19. Morocco 1-0 Portugal

    What is going on?

    Zakaria Aboukhlal is clean through on goal with only Diogo Costa to beat. He cannot finish it off. Portugal survive.

  20. Morocco 1-0 Portugal

    Backs to the wall for Morocco. They have defended heroically throughout this tournament. They need to do so for another three minutes or so if they are to make the semi-finals.
