France vs Morocco

France dispatched Morocco 2-0 in the 2026 World Cup quarterfinals on Wednesday, a result defined by Kylian Mbappé's resilience after being denied from the spot in the first half. Yassine Bounou saved Mbappé's penalty following a lengthy VAR review, but the French captain had the last word — curling a superb shot into the far corner in the 60th minute for his eighth goal of the tournament. Ousmane Dembélé sealed it six minutes later, converting a low right-footed effort after a slick Mbappé assist. No red cards, though Mbappé was withdrawn in the 77th minute with a suspected ankle knock. It's a second consecutive World Cup exit to France for a Morocco side further hampered by the injury absence of striker Ismael Saibiri. Les Bleus remain flawless — six wins, zero extra time — and stride into a third straight World Cup semifinal to face the winner of Belgium vs Spain.
