Moroccan international Youssef EN-Nessyri became the first national player to score two goals in different World Cup editions.

The 25-year-old player scored the national team’s first victory goal in the last Group F game against Canada, as part of the 2022 Qatar World Cup.

EN-Nessyri almost scored two goals in the Canada game, but the referee rejected one goal because it was offside.

Additionally, he had previously scored against Spain in the 2018 FIFA Russia World Cup.

The Atlas Lions moved to the Round of 16 and are set to face off against the same 2018 country next Tuesday at 4 p.m. (local time).
