France Beat Paraguay 1-0, Morocco Lose 3-0 to Canada

France secured a 1‑0 victory over Paraguay in the round of 16, with Kylian Mbappé converting a penalty to score the only goal. Paraguay adopted a low block strategy and attempted to frustrate the French side, committing several fouls that went unpunished by the referee. The lone strike from the penalty spot gave France a narrow but decisive edge, sending the Les Bleus into the next stage of the tournament.

In Houston, Morocco were briefly rattled by Canada in the first half, but the Canucks failed to maintain the pressure after the break. Canada capitalised on a half‑time break, scoring the opening goal and then adding two more in the final minutes to secure a 3‑0 win. The result places Morocco in the quarter‑finals against France, setting up a dramatic rematch of the 2022 World Cup encounter.
