Kylian Mbappé scores in France’s 2-0 World Cup quarter-final win over Morocco, reaching the semifinals for the third consecutive time. Despite missing a penalty earlier in the match, he converts to help break the deadlock, finishing the game with his eighth goal of the tournament/this year’s World Cup scoring run cited by reports. The same sources note he exits the match in the 77th minute after a tackle leaves him with an ankle problem. Multiple outlets report he limps and is seen with an ice pack on his right ankle, which briefly raises injury concerns. Mbappé later plays down the issue, describing it as minor or “slight,” and says he is fine after asking to be substituted. France’s coach Didier Deschamps is also reported to say Mbappé is “100%” fit for the next match. As a result, Mbappé is included in France’s starting lineup for the semifinal against Spain.
