The reigning World Champions took the lead in the 4th minute of the Semi-final clash.
French left-back Theo Hernandez smashed his shot past a helpless Yaccine Bounou to hand France the perfect start.
Morocco pressed forward in search of an equalizer, the Atlas Lions forcing Didier Deschamps’ men into their own half for the last 15 minutes of the first half.
The second half started off like the end of the first. Morocco pressed on the flanks, Chelsea winger Ziyech a threat with his moves down the right.
A compact defensive performance by the French team ensured that the Moroccans could not find the equalizer despite their superior ball possession.
