  • Achraf Hakimi's wife Hiba Abouk was spotted trying to pass a point to her husband
  • It is unclear what she was saying but her expression was of a person not impressed
  • Hakimi's Morocco became the first African country to reach a World Cup semi-final

Football fans have been divided by a viral video of Achraf Hakimi talking to his wife, after a World Cup game in Qatar.

Hakimi has been part of Morocco's fairy tale run to the semi-finals of football's premier competition, and his family has been with him every step of the way. His wife, Hiba Abouk has been present in the stadium for some games.

Goal reports that the incident happened after Morocco's game against Spain. The Atlas Lions had just beaten La Roja on post-match penalties to become only the fourth-ever African side to qualify for a World Cup quarter-final.

Hakimi had scored the winning penalty with a cold panenka penalty right down the middle. He made headlines when he celebrated with his elated mother in the stands, but his discussion with his wife was a little bit different.

Hiba appeared to be discontented about something and as she made her point, she was pointing to the stands. A fan has opined that perhaps she was angry that her husband didn't run directly to her to celebrate, but decided to go to other people first.

"Hakimi's wife complaining about him going through the whole stadium before coming to her gon’ cost them the semifinal game."

Another thought that maybe she was complaining about the difficulty she endured to get seats when she got to the stadium.

Hiba and Hakimi have two sons. The Moroccan wing-back will be hoping to get the better of his friend Kylian Mbappe, when the North Africans play France in the semi-finals on Wednesday.

Hakimi's lovely moment with mother

Sports Brief had earlier reported that marauding Morocco wing-back Achraf Hakimi demonstrated his pure love for his mother, following his penalty heroics against Spain.

Hakimi scored a sensational game-winning Panenka penalty, as his nation punched their ticket to the quarter-finals of the World Cup at the expense of the Europeans.

On the back of his heroics and the North Africans' historic milestone, the Paris Saint-Germain right-back found his way into the stands to share the moment with his mother.
