France Vs Morocco Highlights: France beat gritty Morocco 2-0, set up a summit clash with Argentina

法国对阵摩洛哥：法国2-0击败钢铁劲旅摩洛哥，将与阿根廷在决赛会师

NEW DELHI: Holders France ended Morocco's dream run in Qatar and set up a mouth-watering summit clash with L ionel Messi's Argentina on Sunday. France overcame a valiant Morocco 2-0 in the tightly contested second semi-final of the FIFA World Cup 2022 at the Al Bayt stadium on Thursday.

France became the first defending champions to reach successive finals since Brazil in 2002. They will now bid to follow Brazil (1962) and Italy (1938) as only the third team to retain the title.

As it happened | Schedule & Results

France took an early lead in the fifth minute when full back Theo Hernandez scored an acrobatic goal from a close range. Morocco dominated the possession (more than 60%) in the match but substitute Randal Kolo Muani sealed the game for France with a late goal in the 79th minute.

Morocco will now face Croatia in the third-place playoff on Saturday.

新德里：周日，卫冕冠军法国队结束了摩洛哥在卡塔尔的梦幻之旅，并将与梅西率领的阿根廷队在决赛会师，吸引了全世界的目光。周四，在阿尔贝特体育场举行的2022年世界杯半决赛第二场竞争激烈的比赛中，法国队以2比0战胜了骁勇的摩洛哥队。

法国队成为继2002年巴西之后第一支连续两届闯入决赛的卫冕冠军。他们将继巴西(1962年)和意大利(1938年)之后，成为第三支卫冕冠军的球队。

开场仅第5分钟，法国边后卫西奥·埃尔南德斯近距离打进一记梦幻特技般的进球，早早取得领先地位。摩洛哥在比赛中掌握控球权(超过60%)，但替补出场的兰德尔·科洛·穆阿尼在第79分钟为法国锁定胜局。

摩洛哥将在周六的季军争夺赛中对阵克罗地亚。

Hernandez's early goal gave France a perfect start as they would have been looking for an early strike to silence the rowdy Moroccan support at the Al Bayt Stadium and dent the confidence of their team.

But it still proved a close-run clash as Morocco overcame injury blows and showed no deference to France’s reputation, taking the game to them in a gallant effort that added to the glowing reputation they have earned at the tournament.

France settled the outcome with a second goal 11 minutes from time as substitute Randal Kolo Muani, with a first touch after coming on, tucked in a shot at the back post.

For the first goal, Hernandez had to lift his left foot high to connect with a bouncing ball from a tight angle to finish off a swee move started by Antoine Griezmann’s run down the right and a cutback pass that Kylian Mbappe initially fluffed.

埃尔南德斯的进球给了法国队一个完美的开局，他们想在阿尔贝特球场尽早进球，让摩洛哥球迷安静下来，并削弱摩洛哥球队的士气。

但事实证明，这场比赛并不轻松，摩洛哥克服了球员伤病的不利局面，没有被法国队的卫冕冠军头衔吓倒，勇敢坚韧地对抗法国队，虽败犹荣。

比赛结束前11分钟，替补上场的兰德尔·科洛·穆阿尼在后场门柱处射门，法国队以第二粒进球锁定胜局。

在第一个进球中，埃尔南德斯将左脚抬得很高，接住一个刁钻的弹跳球，完成了由安东尼·格列兹曼在右路发起、基利安·姆巴佩差点错失的回传。

Worthy winner. We should hope that physical football doesn't win over skillful football. Defeat of Brazil and Portugal are pointers.

这场胜利实至名归。我们应该祈祷靠身体对抗战胜不了靠技术取胜。巴西和葡萄牙的失利就是个警示。

很高兴他们输了…他们在世界各地的体育赛事中煽动圣战分子，但在足球赛场上还未成功过，他们认为YSL必须胜过其他国家，可悲…史上最差的球队。

Funny as many people saw this match as a war of religion, forgetting that a large part (may be more than half) of French team are also islam believers

有意思，很多人将这场比赛当做宗教战争，却忘了法国队的多数球员(可能超过一半)也是YSL教徒。

France will play Argentina in the World Cup final after a hard-fought victory over Morocco.France did enough, as they have throughout the tournament really. They are one game away from making history; Morocco have already done that. Well done France, well played Morocco.

在艰难战胜摩洛哥之后，法国将在世界杯决赛中迎战阿根廷。法国队已经尽力了，他们在世界杯之旅中一直拼尽全力。他们只差一场比赛就能创造历史了；摩洛哥也已创造了历史。法国和摩洛哥都干得漂亮。

Immature and fanatic Moroccan fans reminds of Bangladesh fans. When small teams start delivering expectedly amazing results, immature fans, irrespective of the sport or nation, may turn into hooligans in an attempt to act like bosses, which they are not used to. Please forgive them. The fact is that the Moroccan team did displayed amazing football and atleast for some period of time, Mbappe's France also looked vulnerable. They deserve credit for how they performed.

狂热的摩洛哥球迷让人想起孟加拉国球迷。当球队取得预期的惊人成绩时，不成熟的球迷都可能变成流氓。请原谅他们。事实是，摩洛哥队确实展示了惊人的足球实力，姆巴佩所在的法国队看起来也不堪一击。他们的出色表现值得赞扬。

Setting aside Morocco's immature and overly fanatic fan behavior, France for a large part of early second half actually looked very vulnerable. There were quite a few amazing and breathtaking goal line saves which might not have been saved on bad days. Yes, France showcased their deep layered defense which actually just managed to prevent any goal being scored against them.

撇开摩洛哥那些不成熟和狂热球迷的行为不谈，法国在下半场开始的大部分时间里防守非常弱。有非常多次令人惊叹和激动人心的门前扑救。没错，法国队展示了他们的防守功力，那就是防止任何进球。

Fortune not always favour. The best is always honoured. France beat Morcco, no religion matters in performance of game. It was said that this time, FIFA Cup is between Christianity vs Islam. Better team wins, it's clear now. France's win is not by luck . It is result of performance.

运气不会一直眷顾。还是要凭实力。法国击败了摩洛哥，比赛中没有宗教的干扰。大家都说，这一次的世界杯会是基督教和YLS教之间的对决。现在实力更强的球队胜出了，结果一目了然。法国队的胜利不是靠运气，而是靠实力。

yes. Some people see everything only through the prism of religion. While doing so, they accuse others of doing the same. They do not see No of Muslim players in French team and Christian players in Morocco Team.

是的。有的人不管看啥都扯上宗教。他们自己这样做，却不许别人也这样做。他们对法国队里的球员视而不见，对摩洛哥队的基督徒球员也选择性失明。
