sports football world cup

France advanced to the World Cup semi-finals for the third consecutive time after defeating Morocco 2-0. Goals from Kylian Mbappé and Ousmane Dembélé secured the victory, with the duo combining to score 13 times during the tournament.

Les Bleus struggled for the first 45 minutes against Morocco's defense before dominating the Atlas Lions in the second half. Mbappé shook off a missed penalty kick to curl in his eighth goal of the World Cup in the 60th minute, followed six minutes later by a goal from Dembélé to complete a drama-free win.

Confirming their offensive potential, France will now play the winner of the match between Spain and Belgium. The semi-final clash is set for July 14 in Dallas to determine who will earn a spot in the final.
