The classification from the selection of Morocco for the quarterfinals of the World Cup at the expense of Spain, whom they defeated in a penalty shootout after finishing the game and extra time with a goalless draw, caused mass celebration of the Moroccan community present in Spain.
And despite the fear that these celebrations, if they happen, could cause incidents of public order like those registered in Brussels after the victory of the African team against the team of Bob Martínez, the truth is no public order problems in any Spanish city.
The Moroccan consular authorities, as well as other natural municipal or regional Spanish, are made appeals in the days leading up to the game on the need to remain calm at all times, regardless of the outcome of the clash between Spain and Morocco.
After the penalty shootout, in many Spanish cities, including Madrid and Barcelona, burst of joy to members of the Moroccan community.

And so in other towns where fans of the African team took to the streets to show their joy for their country’s qualification for the quarterfinals.
