France once again got the better of Morocco in a World Cup, this time in the quarter-finals of the 2026 World Cup. The French team prevailed 2-0, thanks to goals from Kylian Mbappé, in the 60th minute, and Ousmane Dembélé, in the 66th minute, sealing their presence in the semi-finals of the tournament played in the United States, Canada and Mexico.
The match, at the end of the quarter round, ended with a clear advantage for the 2018 world champions, who were more effective when it came to deciding. After a balanced first hour, Mbappé unlocked the scoreboard and, shortly after, Dembélé doubled the score, resolving the tie in just six minutes. The 2-0 victory reflects the solidity of the team led by the Blues in this knockout phase and confirms the continuity of the French campaign among the four best teams in the competition.
The outcome repeats what happened at the 2022 World Cup, in Qatar, when France beat Morocco in the semi-finals by the same result (2-0), before losing the final against Argentina, in an epic 3-3 decided on penalties (4-2). Now, two years later, the Atlas Lions fall once again to the Gauls, this time one stage earlier, in the quarter-finals.
With this result, France guarantees a place in the semi-finals and will face the winner of Spain–Belgium, a duel scheduled for July 10th.
