France defeated Morocco in the second semifinal of the Qatar 2022 World Cup keeping alive their quest to defend thetitle. Only two teams in history have won the tournament in consecutive editions. Italy (1934, 1938) and Brazil (1958, 1962).
Just five minutes after the start of the game, Antoine Grizemann made a fantastic play which ended with an acrobatic shot by Theo Hernandez to score the first goal for France. Morocco didn’t give up and put a lot of pressure on the reigning champions. Their biggest chance came with a spectacular bicycle kick byJawad El Yamiq. However, in the first ball he touched after entering as a substitute,Randal Kolo Muani made the 2-0 (79′).
France will clash against Argentina in the final of the Qatar 2022 World Cup. That match for the ages is scheduled for Sunday, December 18 at Lusail Stadium. Both squads go for their third title.

They are only two games away from getting it.
They will not have it easy since their rivals are the surprise of this World Cup.
