The Moroccan attacker, who stands 6 feet 2 inches tall like Cristiano Ronaldo, outjumped Ruben Dias and Diogo Costa to head in Yahia Attiyat-inviting Allah's cross from the left side, helping his team become the first African and Arab nation to advance to the World Cup semifinals.
It cemented him as Morocco's all-time leading scorer at World Cups and served as the game-winner as the African nation eliminated Ronaldo's Portugal in Qatar, pulling off one of the greatest upsets of the tournament.
En-Nesyri performed the amazing accomplishment of leaping to a height of 9 feet, one inch, which is eight inches higher than Ronaldo managed with his legendary header when competing for Juventus against Sampdoria in 2019.
Ronaldo's leap, which gave Juventus the win away at Sampdoria three years ago, was measured at 8 ft 4 in height. At the moment, he was praised for his incredible athleticism after rising to meet Alex Sandro's deep cross.
En-Nesyri outclimbed Dias and outraced Costa to the ball before nodding the ball home to give Morocco the lead.
While celebrating the outstanding goal, En-Nesyri looked to stumble as he wheeled away.
Morocco prevailed after a backs-to-the-wall defense in the second half to advance to the semifinals, where they will face France, who defeated England in the day's other game.
