France Advances Past Morocco 2-0 in World Cup Quarter-Final

France defeated Morocco 2-0 in a FIFA World Cup quarter-final match on Thursday in Boston and advanced to the semi-finals. Kylian Mbappé scored the first goal and Ousmane Dembélé added the second. Mbappé had missed an early penalty.

Mbappé was substituted with 13 minutes remaining after reporting ankle discomfort. He was later seen with an ice pack on the ankle but jogged onto the pitch and bounced in front of French fans after the match. Violent disorder occurred in central London early on Friday after the match.

Fans blocked traffic on Edgware Road near Hyde Park, threw bottles and set off fireworks. One police officer suffered head injuries after being hit by a glass bottle and was taken to hospital. Four people were arrested in connection with the disorder.
