Theo Hernandez’s opening goal and Randal Kolo Muani’s late goal sent France into a sturdy World Cup final facing Argentina, ending Morocco’s fantastic journey with an exciting 2-0 victory in FIFA World Cup 2022, Qatar. France will be quite delighted to be the first reigning champions to advance to consecutive finals after Brazil in 2002.
Theo Hernandez secured a goal after just five minutes following an altercation in the goalmouth. Hugo Lloris saved Jawad El Yamiq from tying the score with a spectacular overhead kick by deflecting it onto the post.

Football fans were thrilled to see the sportsmen’s togetherness after the scene made headlines around the world. Although various online football betting sites predict Argentina lifting the trophy, France’s passion and aggression to defend their championship cannot be overlooked.
