France’s return to the World Cup semi-finals came with a 2-0 quarterfinal win over Morocco on Thursday in Foxborough, Mass., built on another decisive performance by captain Kylian Mbappe. Mbappe, who missed a first-half penalty kick saved by Morocco, scored in the 60th minute for his eighth goal of the tournament and added a key role in the second. In the 66th minute, he set up Ousmane Dembele, who slotted beyond Morocco’s goalkeeper to make the score 2-0. Mbappe left the pitch around the 76th minute after being hit hard and placed an ice pack on his right ankle, though he said afterward he was fine. France will face either Spain or Belgium in Dallas on Tuesday, aiming to be only the third nation to reach a third straight final.
