The French team could have led from the first period against Morocco, but the Blues came up against a Yassine Bounou of great evenings. The Moroccan goalkeeper repelled a penalty from Kylian Mbappé (28th), who had obtained it himself after overtaking Noussair Mazraoui.
But what especially caught the public’s attention was the waiting time to verify that the penalty was indeed legal. Around 3 minutes passed between the penalty whistle and Kylian Mbappé’s run-up. On his Snapchat account, Erling Haaland pointed out the lack of responsiveness of the refereeing body, often penalizing the shooter:“need to wait 5 minutes for a penalty, it’s way too long.”
