Morocco beat the Netherlands 3-2 on penalties after a 1-1 draw in a chaotic World Cup last-16 shootout—the most misses in World Cup history—driven by Yassine Bounou’s disruptive goalkeeping, a goalkeeper own goal, and late misses by Kluivert, Timber, Hakimi, and Summerville before Saibari sealed Morocco’s progression.
