France have booked their place in the World Cup semi-finals after a 2-0 victory over Morocco in the quarter-finals.
After a tight opening period, France found the breakthrough just after the hour mark through Kylian Mbappé. The French captain made the difference with a composed finish, giving Les Bleus the lead at a key moment in the match.
Morocco, who had already enjoyed another memorable run on the world stage, were left chasing the game. But France struck again only six minutes later, with Ousmane Dembélé doubling the advantage and putting Didier Deschamps’ side in full control.
The result sends France into the final four, keeping alive their hopes of reaching another World Cup final. Reports said France will face either Spain or Belgium in the semi-finals.
For Morocco, the defeat brings their campaign to an end, but their performances throughout the tournament gave supporters plenty to be proud of. The Atlas Lions once again showed resilience, organisation and heart against some of the biggest teams in world football.
France, meanwhile, continue to look clinical in the knockout stages, with their attacking quality once again proving decisive when it mattered most.
