Hosts Raja Casablanca beat Concacaf champions Monterrey 2-1 in extra time to reach the Club World Cup semifinals and send their green and white army of fans into raptures on Saturday.
.
Ivorian midfielder Kouko Guehi powered in a header from a corner in the 95th minute to earn the Moroccans victory after the game finished 1-1 the end of 90 minutes.
.
Raja will now play South American champions Atletico Mineiro, featuring former AC Milan and Barcelona forward Ronaldinho, in the last four in Marrakech on Wednesday.
.
Mineiro will hardly relish the prospect of facing Raja and their boisterous fans who created a pulsating and intimidating atmosphere for the whole two hours at the Agadir stadium.
.
Monterrey, taking part in the Club World Cup for the third time in a row, were left to contemplate another in the line of Mexican failures at the tournament.
.
Mexican sides have played at every edition since 2006 but, despite coming from one of the most lucrative leagues outside Europe, none have reached the final.
.
Raja made a confident start and Zakari El Hachami prodded wide after an incisive pass by Mouhssine lajour.
.
They went ahead in the 24th minute when Monterrey goalkeeper Jonathan Orozco fumbled El Hachimi's cross from the right and Chermseddine Chtibi slipped home the rebound.
.
The Mexicans levelled in the 53rd minute with a simple goal when Humberto Suazo floated over a free kick from the right and captain Jose Maria Basanta headed in at the far post.
The Ivorian did very well so i have to say that it was a well deserved win for them. Fantastic one
