El Hasnaoui.

The defensive midfielder of Moghreb de Tetouan Adil El Hasnaoui enters the history of his club. In the quarterfinal of the Throne Cup, this Thursday, May 6, he donned the hero costume to send his team to the semifinals.

After the red card received by the Moghreb goalkeeper from Tetouan, at the last minute of the match (0-0), El Hasnaoui then puts on Yahya El Filali's gloves to start his victorious festival.

The defensive midfielder first stops a well-struck free kick one minute from the end before shining in the penalty shootout. He stopped two penalties to offer qualification to the Northerners of Senegalese Limamoulaye Guèye.

The Moghreb of Tetouan joined in the last square Raja Beni Mellal, Wydad of Casablanca and AS FAR. The Rojiblancos will face the Casablancais for a place in the final.
