France advanced to their third straight World Cup semi-final with a dominant 2-0 win over Morocco, producing an attacking display epitomised by their 3.04 xG compared to Morocco's 0.14. Kylian Mbappé broke the deadlock in the 60th minute, unleashing a right-footer from the top left side of the box that swung around a defender and just inside the far post — his 20th career World Cup goal, drawing him level with Messi's all-time record. Mbappé then turned provider six minutes later, laying the ball into the path of Ousmane Dembélé, who curled a low shot past Yassine Bounou to put the game beyond Morocco. Mbappé was seen on the bench late in the game with what appeared to be an ice pack on his right foot, raising fitness concerns ahead of the semifinals. France will play the winner of Belgium and Spain in the semifinal, on the doorstep of a third straight appearance in the World Cup final, while Morocco bow out after another impressive tournament run.
