Who is Randal Kolo Muani, the attacker who sentenced Morocco and who in 2019 played in the fourth division?

France celebrates its pass to the final of the World Cup Qatar 2022 with a suffered 2-0 over Morocco. The French team struggled to get past the Africans and found the game-clinching goal via Randal Kolo Muani in the 79th minute.

France was winning 1-0 with a goal from Theo Hernández just in the 5th minute of play. With opening the scoring at the start of the game it seemed that the French could have the game under control, but the process was far from that.

Morocco dedicated itself to playing and put the French on the ropes. The entire second half was for the Moroccans, causing it to be played on the edge of the France area. The lack of definition failed for the tie.

Who did not fail was Randal Kolo Muani, striker for Eintrach Frankfurt who only played against Tunisia in this World Cup, on the third date of the group stage when the French played with substitutes.

And Randal Kolo Muani made it 2-0 in the 79th minute to seal the match. The attacker found a ball at the far post after a great play and shot from Kylian Mbappé. The attacker only had to add it to celebrate.

HIS STORY

According to the Spanish journalist Andrés Onrubia Ramos, who covers Liga1, the story of Randal Kolo Muani is worth noting. In 2019, the forward played in the fourth division of France. He now shares attack with Mbappé and qualifies for the World Cup final.

Randal Kolo Muani was born in Paris in December 1998, but is of Congolese origin through his parents. He grew up playing soccer with his brothers. Randy was a defender, which made Kolo an attacker. He liked to face it.

Then he trained at Nantes II, a Nantes subsidiary club, since 2015. Thus, until 2019 he shared matches in the fourth division with Nantes II and in the first division in Ligue 1 with Nantes. In 2018 he made his debut in the First Division, but had few opportunities. He barely played 6 games in 2018-19 and 14 in 2019-20, for which he was loaned to third division Boulogne in 2019.

He returned to Nantes in 2020 and became a starter at the age of over 20 in two seasons. Last June he parted ways with the French team to go to Eintrach Frankfurt, where he scored 8 goals in 14 games.

That earned him to be summoned to the World Cup and be the one who scored the goal that marked the sentence of the semifinal. A story to believe.
