By defeating Morocco 2-0 in the Al Bayt Stadium on Wednesday, defending champion France put an end to Morocco’s hopes of winning the 2022 World Cup.
In barely four years since winning the World Cup in Russia, France has advanced to its fourth final game thanks to goals from Theo Hernández and Randal Kolo Muani.
However, Morocco, the first African team to advance past the quarterfinals of the World Cup, should be proud of itself for keeping France at bay before Kolo Muani’s game-winning goal.
The last time a defending World Cup champion made it to the championship game was France in 1998.
