Only for Kolo Muani, a substitute, to score a late second to give Les Bleus the victory.

The match wasn’t about Kylian Mbappe’s exceptional talent. Despite the fact that it will be promoted as a battle between Messi and his PSG teammate.
Instead, France’s victory over a Moroccan squad that will now play Croatia on Saturday in the third-place playoff was the result of a team effort.
After defeating Belgium in the group stage and then eliminating Spain and Portugal, Morocco advanced to the semifinals.
However, it was unclear if they would be able to replicate the feat against the holders. And coach Walid Regragui’s plans were complicated by a number of injuries.

After being absent for the quarterfinal, Achraf Dari filled in for the centre back Nayef Aguerd, who later withdrew.
After just 21 minutes, fellow defender and captain Romain Saiss was forced to leave his teammates, and by that time, Morocco had fallen behind.
Huge Moroccan fans greeted France with deafening whistles whenever they had the ball. But France quiet the crowd with the game’s first goal. Hernandez scoring with an acrobatic volley at the back post after Mbappe’s attempt was deflected.
Interestingly, it was the first goal scored by an opponent and only the second goal that Morocco had allowed at this World Cup.
