France Beat Morocco as Clashes Erupt on the Streets

France's progression to the semi-finals came at a cost beyond the pitch. Reuters reported scenes of celebration among France fans after the result, but a separate report linked from The Guardian noted that a police officer was hurt amid violent disorder in London following the match.

France defeated Morocco 2-0 in Boston, with Kylian Mbappe among the scorers after recovering from an earlier missed penalty. The win sets up a semi-final berth for Les Bleus.

Morocco's coach reflected on the defeat with a measured outlook, noting that France were the stronger side on the night but expressing belief that his team will be ready to challenge for the title when Morocco co-hosts the 2030 World Cup alongside Spain and Portugal.
