France secured a deserved 2-0 victory over Morocco to book their place in the FIFA World Cup 2026 semifinals after a dominant display throughout the match.
Yassine Bounou produced an exceptional performance, saving a penalty from Kylian Mbappe and denying several dangerous attempts from the French attack.
Mbappe later recovered to score and inspire France to victory, moving level with Lionel Messi on eight goals in the race for the Golden Boot.
Despite the loss, Morocco once again demonstrated the growth of Moroccan and Arab football on the international stage.
