After Morocco's victory over the Netherlands (1-1, 3-2) in the Round of 16 at the World Cup, Mohamed Wahabi revealed some unexpected details. The coach had actually foreseen Issa Diop's goal in a dream.

"I dreamed that he would score a crucial header for Morocco. But I didn't know it would happen today. I told him about it after the match ended."

Issa Diop was the hero of the night with a dramatic equalizing header in the 90+1st minute against the Netherlands. In the mixed zone, Wahabi brought a smile to everyone's face: the Atlas Lions coach could hardly believe what had happened: "He truly deserves it." This story adds a magical touch to an already wild match full of twists and turns.

Morocco now prepares to face Canada in the quarterfinals.
