Kylian Mbappe Penalty Missed After Long Delay From Argentine Referee
Mbappe was fouled by Noussair Mazraoui on around the 22nd minute and the penalty didn’t get taken for at least four minutes.
The Real Madrid star would miss it as Bounou dived the right way.
France vs Morocco Summary So Far
France have controlled much of the opening stages of their World Cup quarter-final against Morocco, but the breakthrough continues to evade Didier Deschamps’ side after Kylian Mbappe saw a penalty brilliantly saved.
Les Bleus have enjoyed the lion’s share of possession and have repeatedly stretched Morocco’s disciplined back line, with Ousmane Dembele and Michael Olise both looking dangerous in wide areas.
Morocco have defended with determination, limiting clear-cut opportunities while threatening only sporadically on the counterattack.
The game’s biggest moment arrived when France were awarded a spot-kick, only for Mbappe to be denied from 12 yards, keeping the score level and breathing fresh belief into the Atlas Lions.
Despite the miss, France remain on the front foot and appear the more likely side to break the deadlock, but Morocco’s resilience and organisation mean the contest remains finely balanced heading into the latter stages.
