Following their historic win against former world champions Spain in the last 16 stage of the ongoing FIFA World Cup, the Moroccan players jammed to Burna Boy's hit song 'last last' in their team bus.

Africa's only remaining representative at the tournament beat the 2010 champions 3-0 on penalty shootouts at the Education City Stadium on Tuesday, December 6 to progress to the quarterfinals.

It was the first time in history the North African team have qualified for the last 8 of the World Cup.

Morocco also became the fourth African team to achieve this feat after Cameroon (1990), Senegal (2002) and Ghana (2010).

After the game, the Atlas Lions treated themselves to Burna Boy's hit track, 'last last' while on their team bus.

Intrigued by their impressive performance, some Nigerians took to social media to extol the North African giants for raising the flag of the continent high.
