· 2 min read
France are into the World Cup semi-finals after defeating Morocco 2-0 at Gillette Stadium in Boston on Thursday, continuing their steady, purposeful progress through the tournament under Didier Deschamps.
Morocco had arrived at this stage as one of the most compelling stories of the competition, but France proved too strong on the night, securing a comfortable victory that sends them into the final four with momentum firmly behind them.
The result marks another milestone for a French side that has shown the capacity to grind out results against well-organised opposition. Deschamps has built a team that can win without always dazzling, and this was another demonstration of that pragmatic excellence.
For Morocco, it is the end of a remarkable run, and their supporters will look back on this World Cup with enormous pride. For France, attention now turns to who stands between them and a place in the final.
