France romp to 4-0 WWC last 16 win over Morocco FMTNews FMTSports
Eugenie Le Sommer’s two goals against Morocco increased her all-time leading goalscoring record for France to 92.
Kadidiatou Diani’s fourth goal of the tournament, a header in the 15th minute, sparked an eight-minute, three-goal Les Bleues blitz, with Kenza Dali and Le Sommer also scoring at Hindmarsh Stadium, ending the North African side’s fairytale run.Morocco became the lowest-ranked team to play in the last 16, bouncing back from a 6-0 rout by Germany to beat South Korea and Colombia.
Diani, who netted a hat-trick against Panama, was unmarked in the box for an easy header from Sakina Karchaoui’s cross that kicked off the scoring and had Moroccan goalkeeper Khadija Er-Rmichi smacking her fists on the pitch in frustration. Le Sommer was able to get a boot on the ball for her first goal in the 23rd minute after Diani pressured a Moroccan defender.
