FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) --- Kylian Mbapp had a goal and an assist after missing
a first-half penalty kick, Ousmane Dembl scored the other goal and France
beat Morocco 2-0 Thursday in the World Cup quarterfinals.
Les Bleus will face either Spain or Belgium in the semifinals in Dallas on
Tuesday.
Mbapp's goal in the 60th minute was the 20th of his World Cup career, moving
him one behind Argentina captain Lionel Messi. Dembl scored his fifth goal of
the tournament in the 66th.
France beat Morocco by the same score in the semifinals of the 2022 tournament
in Qatar when the Atlas Lions became the first African team to make it that
far. France now remains on track to become only the third nation to play in the
final of three consecutive World Cups.
