Match Highlights: Semi-Finals 
France 2-0 Morocco
Defending champions France outclassed the history-making Morocco side in the second semi-final of the FIFA World Cup 2022.
Securing its second-successive berth in the summit clash of the FIFA World Cup, Didier Deschamps-coached France upstaged Morocco 2-0. Defender Theo Hernandez scored France’s quickest goal of the Qatar World Cup in the 5th minute of the game. Extending their lead in the second half, substitute Randal Kolo Muani scored the second goal for France as the defending champions ended Morocco’s dream run at the grandest stage.
