Kylian Mbappé brushed off a missed penalty to notch his 20th World Cup goal, steering France to a 2-0 victory over Morocco and a place in the semifinals.

Despite the early setback from the spot, Mbappé refused to let the miss derail his performance — delivering the decisive contribution that sent France through to the final four of the tournament.

The result marks another chapter in Mbappé's growing World Cup legacy, with 20 goals now to his name across two tournaments, cementing his status as one of the competition's most lethal finishers.

Morocco, who had been one of the standout stories of this World Cup, were unable to find a way through a resolute France backline, with Les Bleus closing out the tie in convincing fashion.

France will now prepare for their semifinal clash, buoyed by a commanding performance and the continued brilliance of their talismanic forward.
