France has become the first nation to advance to the semi-finals of the 2026 FIFA World Cup after defeating Morocco 2-0 on Thursday evening.
Kylian Mbappé, after missing an opportunity to score in the first half, found the net in the second half, giving Les Bleus the lead. Ousmane Dembélé later extended France’s advantage with his fifth goal of the tournament, effectively ending Morocco’s impressive run in the competition.
Under the leadership of coach Didier Deschamps, France will compete in their third consecutive semi-final next week, where they will face the winner of the quarter-final match between Spain and Belgium.
