His dazzling footwork had just been on show on the pitch, then Morocco star Sofiane Boufal showed he had even more fancy moves in reserve.

Having just played a big hand in leading his team to a shock 1-0 World Cup quarterfinal win over Portugal on Sunday (NZ time), the 29-year-old then took the celebratory moves to a new level.

Jumping and waving to adoring Moroccon fans at the Al Thumama Stadium, alongside his mother, Boufal then turned her around and the pair enjoyed a memorable dance together, before embracing for a hug, as he then kept his arm around her shoulders in a victory-lapping stroll on the sidelines.

They are now the first African country to ever reach the semifinals, and they will take on defending champions France on Thursday (NZT).
