Hakimi sent Morocco to their first World Cup quarter-final with a winning Panenka penalty
Luis Enrique’s side dominated for 120 minutes in Qatar but failed to find the breakthrough they needed.
And, after the Spanish missed their first three penalties of the shootout, Hakimi coolly stepped up to Panenka the winner past Unai Simon.
And the Madrid-born star ran over to his mother to celebrate after the game.
In a touching scene, Hakimi and his mum shared a loving embrace.
Pablo Sarabia, Carlos Soler and Sergio Busquets all missed their spot-kicks for the 2010 champions as Morocco made history by reaching the World Cup quarters for the first time.
And fans were left in disbelief after Hakimi‘s cheeky penalty in the high-pressure moment.
The defender stepped up to take the crucial spot-kick and was as cool as a cucumber.
One supporter declared: “He has got nerves of steel! Man just did a panenka to win it for them!”
