France is through to the World Cup semi-finals after a 2-0 victory over Morocco. Kylian Mbappe scored his eighth goal of the tournament, making up for an earlier penalty miss. Ousmane Dembele added a second as France proved too strong for the Moroccan side.
The win puts France among the final four teams remaining in the 2026 FIFA World Cup. According to BBC Sport, France were the more comfortable side across the match. Morocco, who had been one of the tournament's more surprising contenders, could not find a way past the French defense.
Mbappe now leads the tournament in goals with eight. The penalty miss earlier in the match did not affect the final result, as he converted later to put France firmly in control. Dembele's goal sealed the victory and ended any hope of a Moroccan comeback.
France will now wait to find out their semi-final opponent. The result continues a strong tournament run for the French squad, which has shown its ability to manage games and deliver when it matters most.
Morocco's exit ends what had been a notable campaign. The African nation had advanced further than many expected, drawing attention from fans across the continent and the broader football world.
No further details on France's semi-final matchup or date were immediately available from the source material.
