Football fans have hailed Sofiane Boufal's outrageous piece of skill to embarrass Marcos Llorente in Morocco's World Cup clash with Spain.

The Africans beat Luis Enrique's side in the last 16 to reach the quarter-finals at the tournament for the first time ever.

In the first half, Morocco winger Boufal twisted one way, the other and then back again as his opposite man Llorente was left for dead.

And fans quickly took to social media to hail the 'filthy' improvisation and mock the attempts of Atletico Madrid midfielder Llorente, playing out-of-position at right back, to tackle him.

One said: 'Nah Boufal just sent Llorente back to Atletico omds.'

A second added: 'BOUFAL MY BROTHER THAT WAS FILTHY!! SENT LLORENTE TO THE SHOPS! #MAR,' followed by a Moroccan flag.

A third posted: 'Boufal did Llorente so dirty there I love it,' with a cry-laughing emoji.

One simply tweeted: 'Boufal,' and an eyes and fire emoji, with another posting a funny picture of a defender kneeling in prayer in front of superstar wideman Neymar in a comparison between the two situations.

Morocco will face either Portugal or Switzerland in the quarter-final on Saturday afternoon.
