France<\/strong> immediately took control of proceedings from kick-off. Les Bleus dominated possession and dictated the tempo throughout the match, while Morocco struggled to establish any sustained attacking rhythm.<\/p>\nFrance could have taken the lead before half-time if not for another outstanding performance from Yassine Bounou. The experienced goalkeeper produced several crucial saves to frustrate Les Bleus, including denying Kylian Mbapp\u00e9 from the penalty spot.<\/p>\n
Bounou continued his impressive display early in the second half, but France finally found the breakthrough on the hour mark. Mbapp\u00e9 curled a superb effort into the net to give Deschamps\u2019 side a deserved lead.<\/p>\n
Only six minutes later, Les Bleus doubled their advantage as Ousmane Demb\u00e9l\u00e9 fired a low strike from outside the penalty area that beat Bounou.<\/p>\n
Les Blues to Face Spain or Belgium<\/h3>\n
Morocco attempted to fight their way back into the contest but struggled to create meaningful opportunities. Instead, the Atlas Lions were fortunate not to concede additional goals as France continued to create dangerous chances during the closing stages.<\/p>\n
Ultimately, Les Bleus comfortably secured a 2-0 victory to reach another FIFA World Cup semi-final. It marks France\u2019s third consecutive appearance at this stage after lifting the trophy in 2018, finishing runners-up in 2022, and now reaching the final four again in 2026.<\/p>\n
France will now face the winner of Belgium vs Spain in the semi-finals.<\/p>\n
