1 / 2

Morocco coach Mohamed Ouahbi praised his team’s calm display after a 1-1 draw with the Netherlands ended in a penalty shootout win at the World Cup Round of 32. Goalkeeper Yassine Bounou made the decisive save before Ismael Saibari converted the winning spot-kick. Ouahbi highlighted that Morocco dominated possession with 70%, created the most chances and trusted their goalkeeper to succeed in a shootout. The victory marks another milestone after their 2022 semi-final run. The Atlas Lions now face co-hosts Canada in the quarter-finals on Saturday.

Ouahbi claims total control, yet the Netherlands dominated possession and created more chances before the shootout win.

I get the calmness narrative, but maybe the team just got lucky with Bounou's big save rather than true composure.

Other teams should focus on controlled practice sessions and simulated pressure situations to build the same calm needed for shootouts.
