France have secured a spot in the World Cup 2026 semi-finals after defeating Morocco at the Boston Stadium on Thursday. The match was goalless at halftime, with Kylian Mbappe's penalty saved by Morocco goalkeeper Yassine Bounou earlier in the game. Mbappe made up for the miss, scoring a superb curling effort on the hour mark, despite Morocco players protesting an apparent handball in the build-up. France's lead was doubled six minutes later, with Ousmane Dembele scoring his fifth goal of the tournament, assisted by Mbappe. Les Bleus will face either Spain or Belgium in the semi-finals.
