世界杯大冷门：迪奥普补时绝平点球取胜，摩洛哥淘汰荷兰

荷兰是欧洲的传统强队，而摩洛哥来自非洲。

The Netherlands is a traditional European power, while Morocco comes from Africa.

赛前，很多人都觉得荷兰会赢，但最后出局的，却是荷兰。

Before the match, many thought the Netherlands would win, but the one to go out, in the end, was the Netherlands.

先说说摩洛哥这支球队。

First, a word on this Morocco team.

其实摩洛哥这些年越来越强，是非洲足球的骄傲。

Actually, Morocco has grown stronger and stronger in recent years, the pride of African soccer.

上一届世界杯，他们就一路杀进了四强，让全世界都记住了他们。

At the last World Cup, they fought all the way to the semifinals, making the whole world remember them.

所以今天这场冷门，其实也没那么"冷"——摩洛哥早就证明过，他们有和强队掰手腕的实力。

So today's upset isn't really that "cold" — Morocco long ago proved they have the quality to go toe to toe with strong teams.

还有一点很特别：不管在哪里比赛，摩洛哥的球迷都特别多、特别热情。

Here's something else special: no matter where they play, Morocco's fans are especially many and especially passionate.

很多摩洛哥人生活在世界各地，一到比赛，他们就会从四面八方赶来，把看台变成红色的海洋。

Many Moroccans live all over the world, and come match day, they come from all directions, turning the stands into a sea of red.

球队在场上拼，球迷在场下喊，这种力量，常常能帮球队多顶住一会儿。

The team fights on the pitch, the fans roar off it — this kind of force can often help a team hold on a little longer.

我们来看比赛。

Let's look at the match.

这是淘汰赛，输了就回家，两个队都踢得很谨慎。

This is the knockouts, lose and you go home, so both teams played cautiously.

前面很长时间，谁也没能进球。

For a long time at first, neither could score.

到了下半场，荷兰的加克波抓住机会，打进一球，一比零。

In the second half, the Netherlands' Gakpo seized a chance and scored, one to zero.

荷兰领先了，眼看就要赢下比赛。

The Netherlands led, and looked set to win the game.

摩洛哥落后，时间也越来越少，形势非常不利。

Morocco was behind, time running shorter and shorter, the situation very unfavorable.

但摩洛哥没有放弃。

But Morocco didn't give up.

就在比赛快结束、进入补时的时候，摩洛哥的迪奥普打进了关键的一球。

Just as the game neared its end and entered stoppage time, Morocco's Diop scored a crucial goal.

一比一！

One to one!

摩洛哥在最后一刻把比分扳平了。

Morocco leveled the score at the very last moment.

这个球救了摩洛哥，也把荷兰拖入了他们最不想要的局面。

This goal saved Morocco and dragged the Netherlands into the situation they least wanted.

按照淘汰赛的规则，打平要先加时，加时还平，就要踢点球。

By the knockout rules, a draw goes first to extra time; still level after that, and it's penalties.

加时赛三十分钟，两个队还是没能分出胜负，比分依然是一比一。

Across thirty minutes of extra time, the two still couldn't be separated, the score still one to one.

最后，比赛来到了最残酷的点球大战。

In the end, the game came to the cruelest thing of all: a penalty shootout.

点球大战里，两队球员轮流罚球，只有守门员防守，谁罚进得多谁就赢。

In a shootout, the two teams' players take turns shooting, with only the keeper defending, and whoever scores more wins.

这时候拼的已经不只是脚法，更是心理。

By now the contest is no longer just footwork, but the mind.

结果，摩洛哥顶住了压力，以三比二赢下点球大战，淘汰了荷兰。

In the end, Morocco withstood the pressure and won the shootout three to two, knocking the Netherlands out.

这场球怎么看？

How to view this game?

对荷兰来说，这是一场非常可惜的失利。

For the Netherlands, this is a very unfortunate defeat.

他们本来已经领先，却在最后一刻被扳平，又在点球大战里输掉，实在让人遗憾。

They'd already been ahead, only to be leveled at the last moment and then lose the shootout — truly a regret.

对摩洛哥来说，这又是一场值得骄傲的胜利。

For Morocco, this is another win to be proud of.

落后到最后一刻还能扳平，还能在点球大战里战胜荷兰，这份永不放弃的精神，正是他们最厉害的地方。

Behind until the last moment yet still able to level, and then to beat the Netherlands in a shootout — this never-give-up spirit is exactly where they're most formidable.

摩洛哥再一次告诉世界：非洲足球，已经不容任何人小看。

Once again Morocco told the world: African soccer can no longer be underestimated by anyone.

这场球还让我们看到，最后一个球有多重要。

This game also shows us how important the last goal is.

如果摩洛哥没有在补时进那个球，比赛就直接结束了，他们就回家了。

Had Morocco not scored that stoppage-time goal, the game would have ended right there, and they'd have gone home.

可正是因为他们坚持到了最后一秒，才有了后面的加时、点球，才有了这场胜利。

But precisely because they held on to the last second, there came the extra time, the penalties, and this victory.

所以在足球场上，永远不要提前放弃——只要哨声没响，一切就都还有可能。

So on the soccer pitch, never give up early — as long as the whistle hasn't blown, anything is still possible.

这就是摩洛哥点球淘汰荷兰，一场属于坚持者的大冷门。

That's Morocco knocking the Netherlands out on penalties — an upset that belongs to those who persevere.
