Supporters of the Moroccan football team took to the streets all over the Netherlands on Saturday evening following their team’s 1-0 win over Portugal in the World Cup quarter finals.

Cars hooting their horns drove through the streets as crowds, including children, gathered on squares and street corners, waving flags and chanting.

Amsterdam police said they had made several arrests because people had been lighting large fireworks but by 19.15 there had been few reports of trouble.

‘Yesterday we were so disappointed for the Netherlands but now we are supper happy,’ fan Houria, who was celebrating the win with her young son, told the AD. ‘We never expected this.’

A young fan of the Moroccan football team stuck his head out the window of a car while I was walking to Albert Heijn a bit ago. He had this message he wanted to pass along:

“YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!”
