Semi-finals

The four teams that advanced to the next stage will now face off for their place in the finale.

Argentina vs. Croatia

The first semi-final was all set up to be played between these two nations.

On one side was the great Lionel Messi, and on the other side was Luka Modric.

After Portugal and Brazil were knocked out of the World Cup, even their fans were supporting Argentina.

The dream of Cristiano Ronaldo and Neymar lifting the cup ends when everyone wants Messi to lift the cup.

Croatia was standing in between Argentina and reaching the finals.

The match started with great intent when in the 34th minute, Argentina got a penalty.

Messi not missing the chance to lead the game converted the penalty into a goal.

As the game went on, soon enough, in the 39th minute, Julian Alvarez scored another goal.

It was 2-0 when Argentina took the lead.

In the second half, Alvarez scored a tremendous goal again.

Argentina had defeated Croatia 3-0 by the end of the match to
advance to the finals.

France vs. Morocco

It was a must-see game because it featured the reigning champions, France.

And on the other side, there was Morocco, the first African country to make it to the semi-finals.

France has a great lineup in the form of Mbappe, Griezmann, Dembele, and many others.

Whereas Morocco goalkeeper Yassine Bounou was standing like a wall.

So far in the World Cup, only one goal has been scored against him.

The French team was all set to break all the odds as Mbappe dribbled the ball and passed it to Theo.

Theo Hernandez did not make any mistakes, as he scored the first goal of the match.

France had great possession, while Morocco was playing well.

The passes and accuracy were on point, but it wasn’t their day.

Randal Kolo Muani scored again in the second half to give France a 2-0 lead.

By the end of the match, France had won the match, becoming the second finalists and going on to compete against Argentina.
