Goals from Soufiane RahimiI, lias Chakkour, Achraf Hakimi and El Mehdi Maouhoub gave Morocco a famous win against the USYNT, who had looked imperious at times in the group stages.
They beat New Zealand and Guinea to set up their knockout tie but the Africans were just too talented for them.

While it is incredibly exciting, it can also be somewhat confusing, with the large amount of abbreviations used getting tricky pretty quickly.
Luckily, Pablo was on hand to give you this superb explainer on just what they all mean.
