Kylian Mbappé delivers a rare World Cup performance as France plays Morocco, scoring and assisting in the match to reach the semifinals. According to multiple reports, Mbappé misses a penalty in the first half but rebounds in the second half, scoring in the 60th minute. He then contributes again by setting up Ousmane Dembélé for France’s second goal six minutes later, helping extend France’s lead. The match outcome sends France into the semifinals and keeps its title-defense campaign on course. One outlet notes the feat as exceptionally uncommon over FIFA World Cup history, placing Mbappé alongside Lionel Messi in an elite group of players to both score and provide an assist in the same World Cup match. Another report highlights that Mbappé’s tournament tally reaches eight goals after the Morocco game. Overall, the coverage agrees on the key turning points: the missed penalty, Mbappé’s response with a goal, his assist for Dembélé, and France’s progression to the last four.
