It took Theo Hernandez just five minutes to open the scoring after a goalmouth scramble. Jawad El Yamiq came close to scoring an equaliser with a stunning overhead kick, only for his acrobatic shot to be tipped onto the post by Hugo Lloris.
Morocco piled on the pressure late on but France secured their place in Sunday’s showpiece final when substitute Randal Kolo Muani scored with his first touch of the match.
France have won all seven of their World Cup knockout games since the start of the 2018 tournament, never even being faced with extra time.
In the history of the tournament, only Brazil from 1958 to 1970 (nine) have ever had a longer winning run in knockout matches (excluding all group stages but including group play-off matches).
France have reached the World Cup final for a fourth time. All of those appearances have come since 1998 (1998, 2006, 2018, 2022), twice as many as any other nation in this period.
