Mbappe inspires France into third straight World Cup semifinal

Foxborough (USA), July 10 (UNI) Kylian Mbappe overcame an early penalty miss to score one goal and create another as defending champions France defeated Morocco 2-0 to reach a third consecutive FIFA World Cup semifinal at Gillette Stadium here.
France, who had dominated possession and chances from the outset, finally broke Morocco's resistance in the 60th minute when Mbappe curled a superb right-footed strike into the far corner after seeing his first-half penalty brilliantly saved by goalkeeper Yassine Bounou.
The France captain turned provider six minutes later, sliding a perfectly weighted pass to Ousmane Dembele, who calmly curled a low effort beyond Bounou from the edge of the area to double the advantage and leave Morocco with a mountain to climb.
