Morocco loses to France, exits World Cup after heroic performance
Morocco became the first Arabic-speaking and African nation ever to reach the World Cup semifinals and has won over millions of fans across the world.
Morocco's historic run at the World Cup in Doha came to an end on Wednesday as the men's team lost to France 2-0. Morocco defied all odds at the soccer tournament, defeating Cristiano Ronaldo and Portugal to make it to the semifinals in a first for an African and Arabic-speaking country.
France’s Theo Hernandez scored just four minutes into the game, the fastest goal in a World Cup semifinal since 1958. Randol Kolo Muani then scored again at around 80 minutes in to put France up 2-0.
Two of France’s players, Adrien Rabiot and Dayot Upamecano, got sick before the match and had to sit out.
