France Beats Morocco 2-0 to Reach World Cup Semis
France secured a 2-0 victory over Morocco in the quarter-finals held in Foxborough, advancing to the semi-finals of the FIFA World Cup. Kylian Mbappé achieved a milestone by scoring his 20th World Cup goal, breaking the deadlock in the 62nd minute with a curled shot beyond the reach of Moroccan goalkeeper Bono.
Despite a strong defensive display from Morocco, including a notable save from Bono against Mbappé just before halftime, France maintained control of the match. Ousmane Dembélé provided a sharp pass to assist the second goal, showcasing clever movement and a cool finish.
This victory marked France's third consecutive clean sheet, with goalkeeper Mike Maignan playing a crucial role. France now looks forward to facing either Belgium or Spain in the semi-finals, aiming for their third consecutive World Cup final.
