Here is what you need to know from Day 17 in Qatar.
Portugal ran rampant against Switzerland, winning 6-1, even with main man Cristiano Ronaldo starting on the bench after his reaction to being substituted off in Portugal's last game.
It was a consistent 45 minutes of action in the first half with both teams finding their tempos early but Portugal clicked together better than Switzerland and played some silky soccer.
Ronaldo's replacement Goncalo Ramos scored a hat-trick while Pepe, Raphael Guerreiro and Rafael Leao added other goals.
Switzerland did, however, erase any clean sheet hopes when Manuel Akanji scored a consolation goal.
Morocco is the latest team to book its spot in the quarterfinals after beating Spain on penalties following a 0-0 result after 120 minutes of action. Spain missed all three of its spot-kicks.
The opening 45 minutes were a cagey affair, with Morocco’s pacey counter-attacks keeping Spain alert, while the Europeans dominated possession of the ball in the first half.
Both Achraf Hakimi and Marco Asensio were stand-out players for their respective sides while Nayef Aguerd had the best chance to break the deadlock for Morocco but his header went over the bar.
In the second half, the tense atmosphere on the pitch continued. Alvaro Morata and Nico Williams threatened for Spain, who looked the better of the two teams, but Morocco's defence stood strong for 120 minutes. Spain's Pablo Sarabia also hit the post in the dying seconds.
There has been lots of Ronaldo talk in the news the last few weeks after his explosive Piers Morgan interview led to a departure from Manchester United, and on Tuesday, reports claimed the Portugal captain is not moving to Saudi Arabian club Al-Nassar.
