Ousmane Dembélé scored a goal as France defeated Morocco 2-0 in the quarterfinals of the FIFA World Cup, securing a spot in the semifinals for the third consecutive tournament. The match took place on July 9, 2026, at a venue yet to be confirmed by official sources.
Speaking to M6 after the game, Dembélé expressed his joy: 'We are very happy. We are in the last four for the third time in a row in the World Cup, it's incredible.' He also revealed a tactical tip from teammate Kylian Mbappé: 'Kylian Mbappé told me to stay in the axis...'
The victory continues France's strong run in the tournament, having also reached the semifinals in 2018 and 2022. The team will now prepare for their semifinal match, with the opponent to be determined by the remaining quarterfinal results.
France's performance has been marked by solid defense and clinical finishing, with Dembélé's goal adding to the team's tally. The exact details of the match, including the second goal scorer and full statistics, are pending official confirmation from FIFA.
