World Cup, France beats Morocco 2-0 and goes to the semi-finals

France secured a spot in the World Cup semi-finals by defeating Morocco 2-0, with goals from Kylian Mbappé and Ousmane Dembélé in the second half. The victory sets up a clash with either Spain or Belgium on July 14, as France aims to reach its third consecutive World Cup final.

The match saw France dominate possession, consistently pressuring Morocco's goal. Despite a strong performance from Moroccan goalkeeper Yassine Bounou, who made several key saves, France eventually broke through. Mbappé's penalty attempt in the first half was saved by Bounou, and a powerful long-range shot from Lucas Digne hit the crossbar just before halftime.

In the second half, France intensified their attack. Mbappé opened the scoring with a precise finish, and Dembélé quickly followed with another goal. Morocco, struggling to create significant scoring opportunities and missing injured striker Ismael Saibari, could not mount a comeback.

France's solid performance throughout the tournament, marked by 16 goals scored and only 2 conceded in six matches, underscores their ambition to repeat their past successes. The team appears resilient as they move closer to a potential final appearance.
