France defeated Morocco and advanced to the World Cup semi-finals. Mbappe did not disappoint again
The French national team advanced to the semi-finals of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, defeating the Moroccan team 2:0 in the quarter-finals. The match took place at Gillette Stadium in the American city of Foxborough.
In the first half, the French had an opportunity to take the lead, but in the 28th minute, Kylian Mbappe failed to convert a penalty. Despite this, after the break, the captain of the French national team still opened the scoring, netting a goal in the 60th minute.
Six minutes later, France solidified their lead. Following a precise pass from Mbappe, Ousmane Dembele sent the ball into the net, setting, as it turned out, the final score of 2:0.
Thus, Kylian Mbappe, despite the missed penalty, became the main hero of the match, scoring one goal and providing one assist. He now has 20 goals in World Cup finals, trailing by just one goal only the great Lionel Messi, who is also performing wonderfully at this year's World Cup and has every chance to improve his goal tally. And in the top scorer competition at this tournament, Mbappe has just caught up with Messi — both superstars now have 8 goals.
In the semi-finals, the French national team will face the winner of the match between Spain and Belgium.
The final stage of the World Cup is taking place in the USA, Canada, and Mexico, and the decisive match of the tournament will be held on July 19 in East Rutherford, USA.
