Dhameystir weedha soo socota: Dhanka kale, adeerkiis oo xilka laga tuuray, Al-Mutawakkil, wuxuu caawimaad ka raadiyay Portugal, boqorkiisa, Sebastian I, wuxuu dareemay inuu lumiyay inta badan saameynta Ottoman ee kordhay ee gobolka. Sebastian wuxuu taageeray sheegashada Al-Mutawakkil bishii Luulyo 1578 wuxuu u gudbay waqooyiga Morocco isagoo wata ciidan, oo ay wehliyaan suldaankii la riday. Inkastoo ilo wareedyo reer Marooko ah ay ka hadlayaan tirada ciidankiisa, shaki kuma jiro in ay ahayd mid cajiib ah, iyadoo boqorka reer Portugal uu ku dhiirrigeliyay ololihiisa inta kale ee Yurub sidii dagaal iskutallaab ah oo uu shaqaaleysiiyay ciidan badan oo shaqaale ah. Sebastian, si kastaba ha ahaatee, uma isticmaalin jagooyinka Portuguese ee ku xeeran xeebta si uu uga faa'iideysto oo taa bedelkeeda wuxuu go'aansaday inuu si toos ah ugu sii gudbo gudaha dalka. Ciidankii Sacuudiga, oo uu hoggaaminayay Abd al-Malik, oo ay wehliyaan walaalkiis Axmed (wiil kale oo uu dhalay Muhammad al-Shaykh), ayaa la kulmay Boortaqiiska Wadi al-Makhazin oo u dhow Ksar al-Kebir 4tii Ogosto. Dagaalkii ka danbeeyay waxaa loo yaqaanay
Dagaalkii Wadi al-Makhazin ama Dagaalkii Alcácer Quibir, Saadiyiintu waxay guul darro culus u geysteen Boortaqiiska. Labada Boqor Sebastian iyo Al-Mutawakkil labaduba waxaa lagu dilay dagaalka, halka dhanka Morocco Abd al-Malik uu sidoo kale ku dhintay dagaalka xaalado aan la hubin <unk> ama dagaal ama, sida ay sheegayaan qaar ka mid ah, waxaa lagu sumoobay mid ka mid ah saraakiishiisa Turkiga si loo hubiyo in Ottoman uu si buuxda u xakameeyo Morocco. Sababtoo ah joogitaanka iyo dhimashada saddexdaas, dagaalka 1578 waxaa sidoo kale loo yaqaanaa "Dagaalka Saddexda Boqor".
