France proved too strong for Morocco on Thursday, defeating the North African side 2-0 in a World Cup quarterfinal matchup held in Foxborough, Massachusetts.
Forward Kylian Mbappe got France on the board, celebrating after putting his team’s first goal past the Moroccan goalkeeper. Morocco was unable to find a way back into the match, falling 2-0 by the final whistle.
France, widely regarded as one of the pre-tournament favorites, now advances to the World Cup semifinals. Their next opponent will be either Spain or Belgium, depending on the outcome of the other quarterfinal contest.
