Patrice Evra believes Morocco can cause an upset in the World Cup knockouts as they prepare for their quarter-final clash with France.

Morocco became the first African nation to reach a World Cup semi-final four years ago in Qatar before losing to eventual runners-up France.

Mohamed Ouahbi’s side were highly fancied once again heading into this summer’s tournament and impressed in their opener with a 1-1 draw against five-time winners Brazil.

Subsequent wins against Scotland and Haiti saw Morocco finish second in Group C and punch their ticket into the knockout rounds for only the third time in their history.
