Ufaransa, ikiwa na mlinzi wa Liverpool Ibrahima Konate aliyekuwa thabiti mbele ya kipa wao , walidumisha utulivu katika anga ya Al Bayt Stadium na wakapata nafasi zao, huku Olivier Giroud akigonga mwamba wa lango katika kipindi cha kwanza.
Kikosi cha Didier Deschamps kilitishia wakati wote wa mapumziko na hivyo kilidhihirika kuwa Muani aliyekuwa akinyemelea hatimaye alivunja safu ya ulinzi ya Morocco kwa mguso wake wa kwanza, sekunde 44 na kufunga bao lake la kwanza la Ufaransa na la pili kwa mabingwa hao watetezi.
Ufaransa yacheza kwa utulivu

Walikumbana na ukuta wa kelele kutoka kwa mashabiki wa Morocco, Pamoja na filimbi za kupasua masikio kila walipokuwa wakimiliki, na licha ya kushindw kuonesha mchezi mzuri kama ilivyo kawaida yao, Ufaransa ilijizatiti na kuhakikisha kuwa inatinga fainali dhidi ya Argentina siku ya Jumapili
Konate, aliyeingia katika nafasi ya Dayot Upamecano ambaye alikuwa anauguza jeraha alidhibiti ngome ya ulinzi ya Ufaransa na kocha Didier Descahmps hakupata shinikizo yoyote ya kufanya mabadiliko katika safu hiyo. siku ya Jumapili.
Na bila shaka, simulizi ya Mbappe dhidi ya Messi itafikia kilele chake siku ya Jumapili huku Ufaransa ikijaribu kurudia ushindi wao wa 2018 mjini Moscow ilipoifunga Croatia katika fainali.
Deschamp ambaye amekuwa hatambuliwi amefanikiwa kuweka pamoja timu ya Ufaransa inayoongozwa na Mbappe na walifanikiwa kuonyesha umahiri wao wakati mwingine.
Ufaransa, hata hivyo, imejikatia tiketi ya fainali nynegine ya kombe la Dunia na Deschamps mwenye umri wa miaka 54, ambaye alikuwa nahodha walipotwaa taji katika ardhi ya nyumbani mwaka 1998, sasa ana nafasi ya kuweka historia kwa kushinda michuano hiyo mara mbili mfululizo akiwa kocha.
Usiku wa fahari kwa Morocco
Wachezaji wa Morocco na timu ya wakufunzi walikuwa wakitoa shangwe kubwa na la muda mrefu kutoka kwa mashabiki wao, ambao wamekuwa kivutio cha kweli katika Kombe hili la Dunia, walipokwenda kwao kuwapatia shukran baada ya filimbi ya mwisho.
Na ilistahili kabisa baada ya utendaji mwingine wa talanta na tabia ambayo ilionyesha kwa nini wamekuwa kifurushi cha kushangaza kwenye Kombe hili la Dunia.
Kocha wa Morocco Walid Regragui angeweza kusamehewa kwa kuhisi hatima ilikuwa dhidi yao baada ya kupoteza wachezaji muhimu muda mfupi kabla ya mechi kuanza, pamoja na kurudi nyuma.

Unguja. Opposition party ACT Wazalendo today officially bids farewell to its former Chairman, Juma Duni Haji, also known as Babu Duni, as part of a new policy designed to honor retired senior leaders at a ceremony held at Kiembesamaki, Zanzibar.
The initiative highlights the party’s commitment to recognizing and supporting individuals who have served with dedication and integrity.
Babu Duni, who stepped down earlier this year, was succeeded by Othman Masoud, now the First Vice President of Zanzibar.
The policy aims to provide ongoing respect and support to retired leaders, ensuring their continued recognition and contribution to the party’s development.
“Recognizing their significant contributions to the development and prosperity of the party, this policy ensures that retired leaders continue to be acknowledged and respected by both the party and the community,” the policy states.
To benefit from this policy, leaders must not have left or been expelled from the party. They must have served the party with honor and dedication. The national leadership committee will determine whether a leader has fulfilled these criteria.
The policy seeks to honor retired leaders, protect their dignity, acknowledge their contributions, leverage their ideas for the party’s growth, and support them to the best of the party’s ability.
In honoring these leaders, the party will provide a vehicle, the type of which will be determined by the national leadership committee. Additionally, they will receive a monthly allowance, with the amount also set by this committee.
Other benefits include health insurance. If a leader does not own a home, the party will cover their rent at a rate decided by the committee.
