Kylian Mbappe and Ousmane Dembele propelled France to a 2-0 victory over Morocco, securing their spot in the semifinals of the FIFA World Cup 2026. The match took place at the Gillette Stadium near Boston, where France displayed a dominant performance.

Goals from Mbappe and Dembele

Mbappe opened the scoring for France in the 60th minute, marking his eighth goal of the tournament with a well-placed shot from the edge of the area. Just six minutes later, Dembele extended the lead, finishing a swift attack with a low shot into the bottom corner. This clinical display ensured a comfortable win for the 2018 World Cup champions.

Morocco's Struggles

Despite being the African champions and considered a potential threat to France, Morocco struggled to create opportunities throughout the match. They did not register a shot on goal until the 83rd minute, when Azzedine Ounahi's free-kick was saved by French goalkeeper Mike Maignan. France's pressure was consistent, and although they faced a setback when Mbappe's penalty was saved in the first half, they maintained control of the game.

With this victory, France advances to the semifinals, where they will face either Spain or Belgium in Arlington, Texas, on Tuesday.
