Sports Desk: Today’s semi-final match of the World Cup like a dream is a battle to create a new history for Morocco. France, plagued by injuries, entered the field in important matches like the semi-finals of the World Cup in Qatar against these African lions. However, at the beginning, France showed their strength by leading 1-0 with Hernandez’s goal after 5 minutes.
After attacking one after another, Morocco’s Hakim Ziechra could not equalize. However, the fight was fierce and both sides got opportunities, but they failed to make use of them.
In the second half, the match was dominated by attack and counter attack. At the end of the 78th minute, Mbappe’s excellent pass led the team to a 2-0 lead by substitute Randal Kolo Muani. After that, Morocco attacked many times and failed to take advantage of multiple opportunities, and these Africans, who made history, had to withdraw from the world stage in Qatar.
