They’re leading, and deservedly so, but France don’t always look entirely comfortable whenever Morocco – roared on by that massive, noisy support – surge forward. The Atlas Lions’ fans can sense their team still have a chance in this match and they’re doing their level best to encourage every positive passage of play.

Theo Hernandez’s goal, after four minutes and 39 seconds, was the earliest scored in a World Cup semi-final since Vava for Brazil against France in 1958.

The 2nd semi-final is now played between between France and Morocco at Al Bayt Stadium, Al Khor, 12:30 AM IST on 15 December. The final of the FIFA World Cup 2022 will be played on Sunday (December 18) at the Lusail Iconic Stadium in Lusail.
