Harry Kane’s penalty miss in the 84th minute was decisive.
It has appeared on Kylian Mbappé.
The French striker’s superstar cheered properly as Kane kicked the penalty high over the goal.
France, world champions, still have a chance to defend their World Cup title. After 2-1 against England, the French secured a semi-final spot against Morocco.
But with a few minutes left in the game, it looked like it was heading into overtime. The referee signaled the penalty and Harry Kane, who had already scored a penalty, had the opportunity to make it 2-2.

However, the Tottenham star managed a penalty kick high, over the goal, so France could hold on to their lead until the final whistle.
The penalty miss naturally led to mixed reactions among the players on the field. There was great disappointment in England, and wild jubilation in France.

At least Kylian Mbappe showed it. And the 23-year-old star attacker drew an uncharacteristic jubilation, grinning after Kane missed the penalty.
At the same time, Kane was comforted by his teammates, who, among other things, asked the paparazzi to show respect to the striker after the final whistle.
– We know how many penalties Harry scored for us, how many goals he contributed to getting us here. It will be stronger after this. A world-class forward and our captain, Jordan Henderson says he’ll be running back, according to the BBC.
