France was the better team against Morocco, and they beat them 2-0 at Gillette Stadium to advance to the ½ finals of the World Cup, as both of the goals were scored in the 2nd half.
However, the French team had a perfect chance to secure the lead in the 1st half when they received a penalty, but Kylian Mbappe’s shot was saved by Bono.

That didn’t change the dynamic of the match, and France continued to dominate the match and the logical thing happened in the 60th minute when Mbappe this time netted with a fantastic shot after Desire Doue’s assist.
Only 6 minutes later, the French captain provided an assist to Ousmane Dembele, who made it 2-0 for the European team.
Morocco failed to find an answer as the African country finished the match with only 1 shot on target and was outclassed by France during the whole match.
France will find its opponent in the ½ finals tomorrow when Spain will face Belgium.
