Right decision? Referee waves away penalty appeals against Morocco Getty

Morocco and France are facing off in the quarter-finals of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, and a controversial incident unfolded late in the first half.

Details: Deep into first-half stoppage time, Morocco full-back Achraf Hakimi appeared to hold a France player with both hands inside the penalty area. Désiré Doué went to ground and appealed for a penalty, but the referee was unmoved and allowed play to continue.

Meanwhile, France were awarded a penalty midway through the first half, with Kylian Mbappé stepping up to take the spot-kick. However, he was unable to beat Bono, who produced a fine save to keep the scores level.

Meanwhile, Morocco's Ayyoub Bouaddi has become the second-youngest player ever to feature in a FIFA World Cup quarter-final. He is currently 18 years and 280 days old.

Reminder: Lionel Messi recently set another unique FIFA World Cup record.
