After a days rest we are now into the Quarter-Finals, and to start them off we had FRANCE playing against MOROCCO. France started off well with the dominating the first half. In the 29th minute, France got a penalty and with all of his international experience, Mbappe did one of those silly dances before taking it and missed the chance of getting nearer to the golden boot and, putting France in the lead. How many times have we seen this in penalty shoot-outs? France had over 12 attempts on goal but nothing to show for it. Morocco holding out on the French attacks., but they did have the odd attack. Half-time 0-0.
In the second half, Morocco showed more of what they could do but it was France who took the lead from Mbappe in the 60th minute his 8th of the tournament. The tempo of the game was starting to be very quick and after another French attack, their second goal from Dembele 66th minute, his 5th goal of the tournament. After a couple of substitutions, Morocco started to find their feet again and made some good moves, testing the French goalkeeper. Final result 2-0 to France and they are our first team that go in to the quarter-finals. They are on a total of 16 goals and they have now scored in all of their 6 World Cup games. Morocco go home with a total of 10 goals.
