9. Morocco lost 0-2 to France in the second semi-final. Morocco had one the best defences in the tournament. What was true about Morocco in this tournament when France scored first?

Answer: Second goal conceded in the tournament

In the group stage, Morocco conceded only 1 goal, to Canada, winning 2-1. They drew 0-0 with Croatia and beat Belgium 2-0. They did not concede any goal in regular and extra time in their wins against Spain in Round of 16 and Portugal in the quarter-final.

Answer: No

Kylian Mbappe single-handedly dragged France into match when they were behind by 2 goals until the 80th minute. He scored a penalty in the 80th minute and equalized for France one minute later with a fantastic volley. In extra-time, he again equalized for France scoring his second penalty to tie the score at 3-3, after Messi put Argentina ahead. During the penalty kicks to decide the winner, he scored the first penalty.

However, he was not the first player to score a hat-trick in the final. In 1966, Geoff Hurst scored 3 goals when England beat West Germany 4-2 in the final.
