France are into the World Cup semi-finals after a ruthless 2-0 win over Morocco in Boston. Kylian Mbappe missed the chance to put France ahead from the spot in the 28th minute, with Yassine Bounou saving his tame penalty, but the captain got his revenge after the break. Mbappe opened the scoring in the 60th minute, finding the far corner, before setting up Ousmane Dembele six minutes later. Morocco struggled badly in attack and bow out in the quarter-finals, while France move on to face either Spain or Belgium in the semi-finals.
