Mbappe injury scare as France reach the semi-finals

Kylian Mbappe scored one goal and set up another as France beat Morocco 2-0 in Boston to reach the World Cup semi-finals, repeating the scoreline of their 2022 meeting. The France captain, who had a first-half penalty saved by Yassine Bounou, made amends before limping off in the 77th minute with ice on his right ankle, a worry for the last four. Ousmane Dembele added the second, and France now await Spain or Belgium in the semi-final.
