For the second semi final in as many days, a controversial refereeing decision divided pundits, this time during France’s clash with Morocco.
The World Cup holders took the lead vs the tournament’s surprise package, with Theo Hernandez opening the scoring after less than five minutes. But if there was any fears that Morocco would fold, they were quickly dismissed as they found their way back into the match.
And as well as hitting the post through Jawad El Yamiq, the Atlas Lions had strong penalty shouts waved away before the half-time whistle. The contentious issue occurred in the 27th minute of action when Sofiane Boufal collided with French defender Hernandez in the box.
