France into World Cup semi-finals as Mbappé shrugs off ankle concern
A stoppage-time stunner from Mbappé and a Dembélé finish settled a quarter-final that France controlled from the opening whistle — leaving the only open question the state of the captain's ankle ahead of Tuesday.
Desk note: Wire coverage of the match centred on Mbappé's strike and the dominant French performance; the contested penalty technique, raised most pointedly by BBC Sport, and the broader question of Morocco's project beyond the scoreline — both consistent with Monexus's editorial emphasis on the structural read — are foregrounded here as well.
