Match Story of France and Morocco:
Seeking to come the first African nation to reach the FIFA World Cup final, Morocco take on reigning titleholders France in Wednesday'ssemi-final at the Al Bayt Stadium.
Having lifted the jewel in Russia four times agone
, Didier Deschamps's men continue their hunt to come just the third nation to lift back- to- back World Cup titles, joining Brazil and Italy.
A rare penalty miss from Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane helped France overcome a late comeback dread as they secured a narrow 2- 1 palm over England when the sides met in last Saturday's quarter-final clash.
A neatly- struck trouble from Aurelien Tchouameni and a trademark title from Olivier Giroud either side of Kane's 54th- nanosecond penalty put Les Bleus on their way to a place in the last four before Kane blasted his alternate spot kick into row Z with six twinkles left in the game to dash England's expedients of bringing football home.
Prior to that, France claimed a comfortable 3- 1 palm over a Robert Lewandowski- led Poland side in the round of 16 on December 4 after securing top spot in Group D with six points from their group- stage jaunts.
Meanwhile, high- flying Morocco continue their record- breaking World Cup run as they came the first African nation to reach the World Cupsemi-finals following last Saturday's 1- 0 palm over Portugal.
After Youssef En- Nesyri jumped loftiest to head home the nature in the 43rd nanosecond, the Atlas Lions' notoriously dogged defence prevailed against another European hustler as they repelled surge after surge of the Selecao attack to secure their place in thesemi-finals.
previous to that, Morocco enjoyed an unbeaten group- stage crusade where they came the first African side to secure a first- placed finish in the group stages of the World Cup.
Drawn in Group F alongside Canada, Belgium and 2018 beaten finalists Croatia, Walid Regragui's men picked up seven points from a possible nine to secure a place in the round of 16 where they edged out Spain on penalties.
The 2010 world titleholders failed to find a way through the water-tight Morocco defence, before losing on penalties where Sevilla goalkeeper Bono made two saves to inspire the North Africans to a 3- 0 palm.
While Morocco are now 180 twinkles from glory and a palm down from reaching their first- ever World Cup final, standing in their way is a France side who are unbeaten in each of their former seven hassles.
Both nations first squared off in the Mediterranean Games back in September 1975, when Les Bleus secured a 3- 1 palm on penalties following a 1- 1 draw in normal time at the Stade du 5 Juillet.
Since also, the two- time world titleholders have picked up four further palms over the 1976 Africa Cup of Nations winners, including triumphs at the 1998 and 2000 editions of the King Hassan II Cup.
Wednesday's tourney will be the first- ever hassle between France and Morocco at a major transnational event, though they've locked cornucopias in friendly institutions on two occasions.
Their first friendly hassle came at the Orange Velodrome in January 1999 when Deschamps's side secured a 1- 0 palm courtesy of a 47th- nanosecond strike from Youri Djorkaeff.
The alternate and also most recent meeting between France and Morocco, came in November 2007, when the pillages were participated in a thrilling 2- 2 draw at the Stade de France.
