France 2-0 Morocco: North Africans' World Cup dream is OVER despite valiant attempt to beat reigning champions... as Theo Hernandez and Randal Kolo Muani strikes set up final with Argentina for Les Bleus

 

 



France suffered but defeated Morocco 2-0 today and will be the rival of the Argentine National Team in the final of the Qatar 2022 World Cup, which will take place next Sunday.

The defending champion prevailed with an early goal from Theo Hernández and another goal from Randal Kolo Muani in the match against an opponent who found him and made it difficult for a large part of the match, but who will not change and will play against Croatia for third place.

France opened the scoring 4 minutes into the first half and burned all the papers for Morocco from a series of rebounds in the area that Theo Hernández took advantage of to break parity.

However, Morocco reacted with a shot from Azz-Eddine Ounahi that saved Hugo Lloris minutes later, while Olivier Giroud smashed a strong left foot into a goal post defended by Yassine Bounou.

Although due to fragments of the duel they gave up the ball to their opponent, France managed the times of the first part and had another two chances in the same play to stretch the difference in the feet of Kylian Mbappé and Giroud again.

In the last minutes of the first half, Morocco appeared from a Chilean from Jawad El Yamiq that hit a post and with several shipments to the Lloris area that caused concern in France before the break.

The match began in the same way, with a Moroccan protagonist determined to go for the draw against a bewildered French cast, who only breathed thanks to Mbappé's counterattacking runs.

However, after 35 minutes, the admitted Randal Kolo Muani knew how to take advantage of an individual advance by Mbappé, grabbed a rebound and settled the semifinal for Didier Deschamps' team.



In this way, France will face Argentina for the title in the final of the World Cup in Qatar 2022 on Sunday from 12 (Argentine time) at the Lusail stadium, the same one in which Lionel Scaloni's team beat Croatia 3-0 with a goal from Lionel Messi, from a penalty, and a brace from Julián Álvarez.

Morocco and Croatia, meanwhile, will also meet on Saturday at 12 to determine which team will win third place in the World Cup.
