France vs Morocco 2026: Mbappé Fires Clinical Les Bleus Into World Cup Semis
France booked their spot in the 2026 World Cup semifinals with a clinical 2-0 quarterfinal victory over a resilient Morocco team in Foxborough.
While Yassine Bounou kept his side alive early by brilliantly saving a Kylian Mbappé penalty, the French pressure eventually broke the stubborn North African defence.
The breakthrough arrived in the second half when Mbappé redeemed himself with a spectacular curling strike to claim his eighth goal of the tournament.
Just six minutes later, Ousmane Dembélé doubled the advantage with a precise low drive that safely sealed the victory for the reigning finalists.
This historic win marked manager Didier Deschamps’ record-breaking 20th World Cup triumph on the international stage.
Les Bleus now march on to a blockbuster semifinal clash in Dallas, while a proud Morocco exits with their heads held high.
