Paris 2024: Spain pip Morocco to reach men’s football final …C0NTINUE READING HERE >>>
The legend of Fermín López continues to grow as the Barcelona midfielder played a crucial role in Spain’s remarkable 2-1 comeback victory over Morocco in Monday’s Olympics semi-final in Marseille.
La Roja faced a hostile environment with a stadium filled with Moroccan fans and fell behind just before halftime when Soufiane Rahimi scored a penalty for Morocco.
Spain seemed in serious jeopardy at times, but Fermín López stepped up again, scoring a brilliant equalizer with 25 minutes remaining to keep La Roja’s hopes alive.
Fermín wasn’t finished making his impact, as he assisted Juanlu Sánchez’s winning goal with five minutes left, sending Spain to the Gold Medal Game.
This victory guarantees Spain at least a silver medal as they await the winner of the second semi-final between France and Egypt. There’s a real chance Fermín’s incredible season could culminate with both a Euro 2024 title and an Olympic gold medal.
