In the 17th minute, Ousmane Dembélé headed over the crossbar. The first half had a key moment at 28′, when Mbappé took a penalty, but Yassine Bono guessed the direction and saved the shot. Désiré Doué also tried his luck in the 34th minute with a powerful shot that again demanded Bono, Morocco’s figure in the first half.
