Morocco's quarterfinal against France turned brutal in the space of six second-half minutes — Mbappé and Dembélé striking in the 60th and 66th to settle the contest with a ruthlessness that offered the Atlas Lions no way back. A 0-2 defeat against one of the tournament's heavyweights is no disgrace, but the margin understates how swiftly the tie was killed. Morocco depart the 2026 World Cup at the last eight, a talented, well-organised side undone by a moment of French clinical brilliance when the stakes were highest.
