World Cup reigning champions – France, at the Al Bayt Stadium, Al Khor, Qatar, ended the dream of an African team playing in the final of the 2022 FIFA World Cup with a resounding 2-0 victory against Atlas Lions of Morocco.
The two time World Cup Champions exploited a seemingly panicky Moroccan defence in the early moments of the first half of the semi-final match to score the first goal of the encounter.
Former Chelsea star – Olivier Giroud and PSG star man – Kylian Mbappe were on rampage at the eighteen yard box of the Moroccan defence.
In the midst of the France attacking melee, Bono, the Moroccan goalkeeper miscalculated and created room for Theo Hernandez to score the first goal for France.
Randal Kolo Muani, produced an instant impact after coming on to replace Ousmanne Dembele in 79th minute of the second half to score the second goal for the reigning Champions.
France will now meet Argentina in the final of Qatar 2022 World Cup, on Sunday, December 18,2022.
The Atlas Lions saw much more of the ball after HT, but they just couldn’t find the net, while Les Bleus scored another.
