Morocco piled on the pressure late on but substitute Randal Kolo Muani who plays for Eintracht Frankfurt, proved to be France’s unlikely hero, scoring with his first touch of the match when Kylian Mbappe had a shot blocked 11 minutes from time.

Morocco go out with their heads held high; while France remained on course to become the first team since Brazil in 1962 to retain the world title.

France are one game away against Lionel Messi's Argentina in Sunday from making history by becoming back-to-back World Cup champions.
