France beat Morocco to make it to World Cup final

Dec 14 2022

Reigning champions France have beaten underdogs Morocco in a tense match to make it to yet another World Cup final.

France opened the scoring early on in the 5th minute from an acrobatic Theo Hernandez finish at the back post.

After a tense and cagy start to the half where Morocco where dominating the passage of play, France managed to extend their lead in the 78th minute after substitute Randal Kolo Muani scored only 40 seconds after coming on.

The French players will switch their attention towards Lionel Messi’s Argentina who could easily halt their ambitions to retain the World Cup.
