WATCH: LISTEN: SBS Sport (@SBSSportau) In the proce s of becoming the first African side in history to reach the World Cup semifinals, Morocco had only conceded once in the tournament heading into this match, and even that was an own goal.Romain Sai s, Nayef Aguard and Nou sair Mazraoui were all pa sed fit to start but West Ham's Aguard withdrew after the warmup and captain Sai s was substituted midway through the first half when Jimmy Garoppolo Jersey clearly struggling.That uncertainty seemed to contribute to a chaotic France opener, where Antoine Griezmann seized upon a slip from Jawad El Yamiq and cut the ball back to Mbappe. The Paris Saint-Germain star had his first effort blocked and a second looped up off Oliver Giroud, with Hernandez alive to the po sibilities as he found an acrobatic finish.Giroud struck the upright as Sai s' thigh gave out, but Hugo Lloris had already produced a save at full stretch from Azzedine Ounahi by that point and El Yamiq almost atoned for his error with an overhead kick that thumped the base of the post.Mbappe tried to get France back on the front foot after the restart but it was another winger, Chelsea's Hakim Ziyech, who was the outstanding attacker of the half, orchestrating several intricate attacks down the right flank.Ibrahima Konate, only playing after Dayot Upemacano was ruled out through illne s, made last-ditch clearances and France only had breathing space when Mbappe's quick feet made room for a half-blocked shot that fell kindly for Kolo Muani, who had only been on the field for 44 seconds.The memories of Morocco's incredible run will last much longer.MORE: Lineups Bruce Ellington Jersey : France (4-2-3-1, right to left): 1.
