1998 world champions France have qualified for the final of the 2018 World Cup going on in Russia after beating Belgium 1-0 in their semifinal game played on Tuesday night, July 10, at Saint Petersburg Stadium.

Belgium would have themselves to blame to have lost this match against France as they had enough chances for them to score, but lost many opportunities.

The first half ended goalless as both sides failed to find the back of the net.

Barcelona defender Samuel Umtiti scored the goal for France in the 51st minute via an header after benefiting from a superb cross by Antoine Griezmann.

France won the match 1-0 and they will now face the winner between Croatia and England in the final of the Russia 2018 World Cup which will be played on Sunday, July 15.
