France set up a heavyweight World Cup final against Argentina after an early goal by Theo Hernandez and a late one from Randal Kolo Muani ended battling Morocco’s dream run via an action-packed 2-0 semi-final victory on Thursday. France will be hugely relieved to become the first defending champions to reach successive finals since Brazil in 2002.
A boy has been killed in Montpellier amid clashes between France and Morocco fans in the city following the World Cup semi-final. A statement issued by the local government office said the boy was “violently hit” by a car in the city, in the south of France, on Wednesday, Sky News reported.
