Manchester United defender Noussair Mazraoui’s brave World Cup run has come to an end following Morocco’s elimination at the hands of France.
Morocco dreamed of reliving their 2022 World Cup heroics, when they defied all odds to reach the semi-finals, but the magic ran out this time as France proved an insurmountable obstacle.
From the start, France were the more dominant side, pegging Morocco back inside their own half.
A golden opportunity presented itself to Real Madrid’s Kylian Mbappe when he was brought down in the area by Mazraoui, earning Les Bleus a penalty and a chance to take the lead.
However, a prolonged delay in taking the spot-kick resulted in Mbappe missing as Yassine Bounou kept his effort out.
