The French left back ended Morocco's unbeaten run in the tournament with an early and unexpected strike.

Morocco had based their options to win the World Cup on their defensive prowess, but that was not enough to keep their goal unbeaten one more time against France.

The Atlas Lions were not able to keep their unbeaten run going in the competition after a well-placed strike by Theo Hernández, who apparently caught the African team napping before he scored for Les Bleus.

Hernández was able to put to good use a loose ball inside Morocco's box to give France the lead before the first five minutes of the game, changing the entire landscape of the match, as Morocco were not able to implement their tough defense for most of the game, a plan that worked like a charm for them against Spain and Portugal.

Hernández's goal before the first five minutes also earned a spot for the Frenchman in the tournament's all-time records.

This also meant bad news for Morocco's ironclad defense.
