  1. 2-0 Morocco

    That was indeed Randal Kolo Muani's first touch. His only touch yet - he hasn't had the ball since.

  2. 2-0 Morocco

    Stranger things have happened but we would need to see maybe the greatest World Cup storyline ever for Morocco to go through from here.

  3. ' subs have made a real difference'

    2-0 Morocco

    Just to reiterate on the substitutions, I think they have made a real difference.

    Moving Kylian Mbappe into the middle and getting Marcus Thuram tracking Archaf Hakimi has made a real difference.

    That is of great credit to Didier Deschamps.

  4. ' get the break they needed'

    Muani's first touch. It was a careless in the middle of the park from Morocco. Mbappe feeds the ball forward to Thuram who pops it back.

    Muani can't miss from two yards, that's pretty much game over. Brilliant feet from Mbappe who drives inside Amrabat. get the break they needed.

    Deschamps off the bench, he is happy. He know that's more than likely game over.

  5. 2-0 Morocco

    Randal Kolo Muani only made his international debut in September. This is his fourth cap. The 24-year-old, who replaced the injured Christopher Nkunku in the World Cup squad, ed Eintracht Frankfurt from Nantes in the summer.

  6. 'Game, set, match'

    2-0 Morocco

    Danny Murphy
    Former England midfielder on BBC One

    The substitutions have worked for Didier Deschamps that is for sure.

    It was a great bit of skill from Kylian Mbappe and it was an easy tap-in for Randal Kolo Muani.

    I think that is game, set and match.

    GOAL - 2-0 Morocco

    Randal Kolo Muani

    Is this his first touch? Surely Morocco are done now.

    Eintracht Frankfurt forward Randal Kolo Muani almost certainly sends to the final with his first international goal.

    Kylian Mbappe jinks through in the box and a shot which is deflected into the path of Kolo Muani, six yards out, and he makes no mistake.

  8. SUBSTITUTION

    1-0 Morocco

    Morocco substitute the substitute. Selim Amallah, who came on in the first half, is replaced by young Barcelona forward Abdessamad Ezzalzouli - who is on loan at Osasuna.

    Another Barca player, Ousmane Dembele, is replaced by Randal Kolo Muani for .

  9. 'Hopeless from Hamdallah'

    1-0 Morocco

    Chris Sutton
    Former England striker on BBC Radio 5 Live

    Hopeless from Hamdallah. Had the opportunity to get a shot off at least on a couple of occasions and he was trying to walk the ball in. Are Morocco going to get a better chance than that?

  10. 1-0 Morocco

    Now Abderrazak Hamdallah shoots from an impossible angle and it's wide. Hmmmm.

  11. 'Got to hit it'

    1-0 Morocco

    Danny Murphy
    Former England midfielder on BBC One

    You've got to hit it!

    He had done the hard work and made the space for the shot. It was one too many chops.

  12. 1-0 Morocco

    The problem with Morocco is they try to walk the ball into the net...

    Abderrazak Hamdallah takes on one man and another and another and he's in a shooting position but tries to take on another player and loses the ball.

    SHOOOOOOOOOOT.

  13. 'Can Morocco create the momentum">This is 85-year-old Mr Habib. He is Tunisian but ing Morocco. He came to London with a German friend in 1966 for the World Cup final at Wembley and never left.
