Touching moment Morocco hero Achraf Hakimi celebrates with a big kiss from his mum after Spain KO’d from World Cup
ACHRAF HAKIMI celebrated Morocco’s World Cup success with a kiss from mum.
The North African side knocked out Spain in a dramatic last-16 tie on Wednesday night.
Luis Enrique’s side dominated for much of the game but failed to find the breakthrough they needed.
Spain crashed out of yet another major tournament on penalties thanks to Madrid-born Hakimi’s perfect Panenka.
And the Paris Saint-Germain star ran over to his mother to celebrate after the game.
In a touching scene, Hakimi and his mum shared a loving embrace.
Pablo Sarabia, Carlos Soler and Sergio Busquets all missed their spot-kicks for the 2010 champions as Morocco made history by reaching the World Cup quarters for the first time.
And fans were left in disbelief as Hakimi stepped up to slot home an outrageous Panenka penalty.
The defender stepped up to take the crucial spot-kick and was as cool as a cucumber.
One supporter declared: “He has got nerves of steel! Man just did a panenka to win it for them!”

Even France superstar Kylian Mbappe should his admiration.
Sharing a picture of the pair, the superstar tweeted: “Morocco’s King”.
