In Lyon, the host France Olympic team won 3-1 against Egypt thanks to two goals in extra time; In Marseille, Spain also staged a comeback, winning 2-1 against Morocco. In the end, the two European powerhouses will meet in the final, and two teams from Africa will compete for a bronze medal at the Games.

In the early morning of the 6th, Beijing time, FIFA evaluated the two semifinal matches of the men's football team at the Paris Olympics in an important position on its official website with the title of "The exciting reversal drama of the semifinals kicked off the final of France vs Spain". The first match of the semi-final between Spain and Morocco kicked off in Marseille. Although the vast majority of the audience were fans of the Morocco Olympic team, the Spain Olympic team was more composed.

In the 16th minute of the game, the Uzbekistan referee on duty Tantashev was forced to give up continuing the law enforcement due to being injured by Spain's Puville, and fourth official Glenn · Niberg came on as a substitute to play the game. In the 37th minute of the game, Spain's Olympic team Barrios kicked an opposing player in the box and was awarded a penalty. Rahimi made it one fell swoop to help the Morocco Olympic team take the lead. However, the Spain Olympic team is not panicking. In the 65th minute, Fermin scored with a low shot to help the "Matador" legion equalize. 20 minutes later, it was Fermin again, who assisted Juan Lu to score in the far corner. Spain finally beat Morocco 2-1 in regulation time to advance to the final.

The France Olympic team also won thrilling. At the end of a relatively dull first half, the Egypt Olympic team scored a deadlock-breaking goal in the 62nd minute through Sabir's powerful shot. It was not until the 83rd minute that the France Olympic team equalized by Mateta, the goal-scorer who advanced in the previous round. As a result, the game went into extra time.

In the 92nd minute, Egypt's Olympic team Fayyad was sent off for a foul on the tackle and received two yellow cards in total. Soon after, Mateta scored a game-winning goal for France with a header in the 99th minute. In the 108th minute, Olise, who had assisted Matteta in equalising, pushed the goal to help France seal the victory 3-1.

FIFA commented: "Like Spain, France (Olympic team) was able to qualify for the final largely thanks to the availability of key players like Mateta and Olise. France boss and Arsenal legend Thierry Henry said after the game: "The game is not over yet, we can now go all out to prepare for the gold medal game." We have to get the title like our other national men's and women's teams. "
