In the end, it was a testament to French savoir-faire and their capacity to handle challenging circumstances and complete tasks, even when they weren’t at their best. Didier Deschamps may take pride in his team’s solid defensive effort, led by Ibrahima Konaté in particular, which led to their first World Cup clean sheet. Kolo Muani was available to tap in after Kylian Mbappé suddenly sprang to life inside the area late in the game, flashing his twinkle toes and seeing a low shot deflect. Once again, Antoine Griezmann shone in the middle of the field. He was a model of composure in the face of mayhem, with effortless balance and technique, and his joyous appreciation of everything around him.
Within five minutes, France ended Moroccan hopes with a tussle in the box that resulted in Hernandez receiving the ball at the back post and volleying it past Yassine Bounou. Olivier Giroud missed from close range in the first half following Aurelien Tchouameni’s barnstorming run through the middle, hitting the post on the play. On the other side, Morocco never seemed intimidated and had opportunities. Azzedine Ounahi’s speculative efforts forced two outstanding saves from French captain Hugo Lloris, and curling set-pieces stressed the French defence.
The third-fastest goal by a substitute in World Cup history was scored by Kolo Muani after Kylian Mbappe’s half-shot dribbled toward the net, sealing France’s return to the championship game. At the 2018 World Cup in Russia, France defeated Argentina 4-3 despite Argentina holding the head-to-head record with six wins, three ties, and three losses in 12 encounters. France hopes to become the first team in 60 years and just the third team in history to win the World Cup in back-to-back competitions. France is the first reigning champions to reach consecutive finals since Brazil in 2002.
