France defeated Morocco 2-0 in the FIFA World Cup 2026 quarter-final at Boston Stadium to reach a third successive semi-final. Kylian Mbappe opened the scoring in the 60th minute before Ousmane Dembele doubled the lead six minutes later. Morocco fought hard but failed to breach France's defence as Didier Deschamps' side advanced to face either Spain or Belgium.
France stormed into their third consecutive FIFA World Cup semi-final with a clinical 2-0 victory over Morocco in the quarter-final at Boston Stadium on Friday. Captain Kylian Mbappe and Ousmane Dembele struck in the second half as Didier Deschamps' men ended Morocco's spirited challenge to keep their title hopes alive.
It marks the third consecutive time that France have qualified for the semi-finals. Les Blues lifted the title in 2018 but were beaten by Argentina in the final four years later. They will face the winner of the Spain vs Belgium quarter-finals in the semis.
Morocco began brightly and matched France's intensity in the opening exchanges, with Brahim Diaz and Achraf Hakimi posing a threat on the counter. However, the Atlas Lions struggled to create clear-cut opportunities against a well-organised French defence.
France gradually took control before the break and came close to opening the scoring on multiple occasions. Mbappe was denied from close range and also failed to convert from the penalty spot, leaving the contest goalless at half-time.
