France has secured the first semi-final spot at the 2026 World Cup after defeating Morocco 2-0 on Thursday night. The victory sends Les Bleus into the last four of the tournament.
Kylian Mbappe squandered a golden opportunity to open the scoring in the opening 45 minutes but made amends after the interval. He broke the deadlock to give France the lead in the second half.
Ousmane Dembele added the second goal moments later, scoring his fifth of the competition. Morocco's impressive run in the tournament came to an end with the defeat.
Didier Deschamps' side will contest their third consecutive World Cup semi-final next week. France will face either Spain or Belgium, who clash in Friday's quarter-final.
