France secured a 2-0 victory against Morocco in the quarterfinals of the FIFA World Cup 2026, advancing to the semifinals where they will meet either Spain or Belgium. The match took place at Gillette Stadium outside Boston.

Kylian Mbappe opened the scoring on the 60th minute, curling in his eighth goal of the tournament after winning a penalty caused by a foul from Morocco's Noussair Mazraoui. The penalty kick was delayed due to a lengthy VAR review before Mbappe was allowed to take it.

Six minutes later, Paris Saint-Germain star Ousmane Dembele extended France's lead with a composed low finish after a strong run from midfield, securing a clinical 2-0 win for Les Bleus.

This victory sends the 2018 World Cup champions into a semifinal showdown scheduled for Tuesday in Arlington, Texas.
