Edgware Road in northwest London saw police confront large crowds late Thursday after France beat Morocco 2-0, with videos showing fireworks, debris and traffic brought to a halt.
Morocco’s quarterfinal exit appeared to trigger the unrest, as fans waved national flags in the street, climbed onto vehicles and forced riot police in shields and body armor to move in.
One video appeared to show an officer down, though authorities had not confirmed the officer’s condition or how the injury happened.
Paris avoided the feared repeat of earlier soccer unrest, with France and Morocco supporters instead celebrating together in traffic-clogged streets including the Champs-Élysées.
France reached a third straight World Cup semifinal behind goals from Kylian Mbappé—his eighth of the tournament—and Ousmane Dembélé, while Morocco’s loss ended Africa’s remaining challenge.
