Boy killed in violent clashes between Morocco and France fans after World Cup semi-final

A boy has died in Montpellier after France and Morocco fans clashed in violent scenes following the World Cup semi-final.

France booked their spot in Sunday's final with a 2-0 win over Morocco to end the African side's fairytale that ran deep into the knockout stages. However, the result prompted clashes in parts of France, including ugly scenes in Montpellier which were captured on camera.

A statement issued by the local government office has now said that a boy was killed in the violence after he was "violently hit" by a car. The Department of Herault said he was transferred to the hospital, but died shortly after arrival.
