After an observation round, the two teams created several dangerous situations. For the moment, Morocco advantage thanks to a penalty from Zabiri.
New hot situation on the Moroccan goal with Bermont who crosses hard in front of the goal. Benchaouch pushes back again.
TURN! THE BIGGEST SITUATION FOR THE BLUE! At the far post, the French striker fakes the shot before hitting hard! Benchaouch pushes back on his line!
There will be three minutes of added time.
Yet in a good position, Benama's free kick flies over the Moroccan goal.
BENAMA! Another shot on target but this time from the outside of the foot! Benchaouch pushes back in front of him. Sylla followed but was ahead of him.
WHAT AN OPPORTUNITY FOR MOROCCO! Maamma plays Bourgault before crossing in front of the goal. While the goal is empty, Zahouani misses his recovery. On the ground, Zabiri is also on the ground.
Michal wants to double with Touré but the Moroccan defense stops the action in front of his own area.
HOW CRUEL THIS IS FOR OLMETA! As Zabiri found the post, the ball bounced off Olmeta's back and into the goal.
PENALTY FOR MOROCCO!
VAR IN PROGRESS! After a potential jersey pull from Leborgne on Baouf in the French area.
Moroccan pressure with a double corner.
MICHAEL! On the corner, the French number 7 inherits the ball in two stages. With an angry tackle, Baouf counters the Frenchman's attempt.
Great work from Beyuku who gets a corner!
Great projection from Bleuets which ends with a new dangerous cross from Touré. The Moroccan defense still has the last word at the far post.
Benama is at his advantage at the start of the game. He recovers a ball in front of the area before shifting Touré. His cross is diverted to the near post.
BENAMA’S RESPONSE! Found at the edge of the area, the French number 10 adjusts a shot on target which Benchaouch deflects for a corner.
MAAMMA! The Moroccans take the upper hand in the middle of the field. On her left side, Maamma cuts back into the axis before attempting a curling shot. Olmeta accompanies the ball over his goal.
Excellent return from Bourgault against Yassine who coveted the ball behind the French defense.
Bakhty searches for Zahouani in the depths. The ball goes 6 meters.
Good work on the left from Essadak who crosses in front of the goal. Bourgault removes the danger.
The Bleuets have had the ball since the start of the game.
New acceleration from Bermont. The ball goes 6 meters.
First overflow of Bermont. Benchaouch catches at the near post.
Here we go!
Time for hymns!
The two teams enter the field!
On the Moroccan side, it is the collective which takes precedence with nine goals scored since the start of the competition.
Among the followers, few would have bet on the Bleuets. And for good reason, our young French people are for the most part lacking playing time in their respective clubs.
The two teams challenged each other twice in friendly matches in 2024. At the end of two goal-rich matches, the Blues won 5 goals to 4 and 4 goals to 3.
The winner of this confrontation will face Argentina or Colombia in the final.
Morocco followed the same path as the Blues with only one setback in six matches (defeat against Mexico 1 goal to 0).
The French composition: Olmeta – Beyuku, Kamara, Zidane, Bourgault – Leborgne, Sylla, Benama (cap.) – I. Touré, Michal, Bermont.
To reach the semi-final, the French achieved an almost perfect course. They have only had one defeat in six matches (against the USA 3 goals to 0).
Hello and welcome to everyone to follow live this semi-final of the U20 World Cup between Morocco and France, scheduled at the Estadio Elias Figueroa Brander in Valparaiso (Chile) at 10 p.m. (French time, 5 p.m. local time).
