Morocco’s Jawad El Yamiq came close to scoring the goal of the tournament for the 2022 World Cup with an attempted overhead kick in the African team’s semifinal clash against France.
Morocco fell behind early in the match after just five minutes when Theo Hernández put the French ahead with a brilliant acrobatic finish.
However, the African nation responded very well and almost equalized from a corner just before half time.
A cross from Chelsea’s Hakim Ziyech reached El Yamiq before the centre-back attempted a header that hit the post and would certainly have been in contention for the goal of the tournament.
What goal would that have been?
