2022 World Cup: France strikes early; El Yamiq’s bicycle kick nearly evens it
And to get things started, it was all France.
The French got off to a thundering start just five minutes in, as defender Theo Hernandez powered in a goal to give France the early edge.
France goalkeeper Hugo Lloris appeared to get a huge assist on a stunning shot attempt from Morocco defender Jawad El Yamiq late in the first half.
The save preserved a 1-0 advantage for France — but it was the bicycle kick that was the story.
