Mbappe and Dembele too much for Morocco as Atlas Lions bow out of World Cup

RIYADH: Alas, it was not to be for the Atlas Lions. A repeat of their heroic semi-final appearance in 2022 will not come to pass, having fallen at the same hurdle — and to the same opponents — as last time out: France. There is no shame in losing to arguably the most dominant team in the tournament. Goals were always going to come, as France have shown in all their previous encounters. Even a penalty save from Bounou was not enough to keep Morocco in it, as France broke the deadlock in quick succession in the 60th and 66th minutes to put the game beyond doubt.
