Morocco's Achraf Hakimi had the power to score the penalty that gave his national team a place in the quarter-finals of the World Cup against Spain. Hakimi's agent confirmed that the right-back is a Boca Juniors fan and once asked him for a Carlos Tevez shirt.

The 'Atlas Lions' booked their place in the quarter-finals of the competition by defeating Spain in a penalty shoot-out after a goalless draw during the 90 minutes.

Achraf Hakimi was one of the key players of both that match and the spot-kick. The right-back was in charge of scoring the decisive penalty.

The defender, who was able to play for Spain, became the real hero of his country. Otherwise, his agent Alejandro Camano revealed a curious story in an interview for 'Radio La Red'.

"I spoke to Tevez's agent because he wants to have a Boca shirt signed by Carlitos," Hakimi's agent said. Moreover, Hakimi has already expressed his support for Boca Juniors on more than one occasion.
