Match Recap

2 – 0

France beat Morocco 2–0 at Gillette Stadium on July 9, 2026 to reach the semi-finals — the same scoreline as their 2022 semi-final meeting. Kylian Mbappé had a 28th-minute penalty saved by Yassine Bounou, then made amends on 60 minutes with his 20th career World Cup goal, one behind Lionel Messi's all-time record of 21. Ousmane Dembélé added the second six minutes later. Morocco, the first African nation to reach the quarter-finals at back-to-back World Cups, exit the tournament.
