There's no fairytale for Morocco as defending champions France triumph 2-0 to set up a World Cup men's final date with Lionel Messi's Argentina.
A goal after just five minutes from defender Theo Hernández gave France a dream start inside a cauldron of noise at the Al-Bayt Stadium, which was packed to the brim with Moroccan supporters.
Morocco, who lost defender Nayef Aguerd after the warm-up, fellow centre back Romain Saïss after 20 minutes, and left back Noussair Mazraoui at half-time — all of whom came into the game under an injury cloud — enjoyed the majority of possession in the first half.
