France defeated Morocco in the second semifinal of the Qatar 2022 World Cup keeping alive their quest to defend the title. 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 by Jawad 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. 

 

France vs Morocco: Match Preview

France and Morocco will face each other today at the Al Bayt Stadium for the Qatar 2022 FIFA World Cup semifinals. Kylian Mbappe will try to lead the French side to its second consecutive World Cup final, while the Moroccan national team will be looking to eliminate another European power, as it has already done with Spain and Portugal.

The French team is only one step away from playing a new World Cup final. They are the defending champions, having won the title 4 years ago at Russia 2018 and of course they want to repeat that feat and win the third title in the history of French football. 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. Morocco surprised the entire soccer world by finishing top of a difficult group they shared with Croatia and Belgium, and then eliminating Spain and Portugal in the round of 16 and quarterfinals, respectively. They are the least favorites in this game, but they hope to surprise again.
