In this semi-final match, France employed a 4-2-3-1 formation which allowed them to dominate the midfield, with N'Golo Kanté providing defensive cover while Adrien Rabiot supported the attack. Morocco, on the other hand, set up in a 4-3-3, with their wingers, Hakim Ziyech and Sofiane Boufal, tasked with stretching the French defense. France's first goal came early when Theo Hernandez found an opening at the back post, a result of a well-placed cross by Griezmann that exploited Morocco's defensive shape. The second goal was a result of a well-timed counter-attack, showcasing France's clinical finishing, as Kolo Muani took advantage of Morocco's high line. The tactical battle showcased France's ability to transition quickly and their experience in handling high-pressure situations, while Morocco demonstrated resilience but lacked the finishing touch required to capitalize on counter-opportunities.
