Qatar - 2022
The French team was more substantial than England and will play in the semi-finals of the World Cup
The confrontation between England and France in the quarter-final stage of the 2022 world championship took place in a tense, spectacular and dynamic fight.
The score of the match was opened in the 17th minute. Aurelien Tchuameni scored the goal for the French team. Despite the changes, the score did not change in the first half.
The tempo of the match was high in the second half as well. In the 54th minute, the players of the French national team violated the rules, and the referee awarded a penalty kick. Harry Kane approached the ball and equalized the score with a sharp shot, 1:1.
In the 78th minute, the French team retook the lead. Olivier Giroud scored the goal. The England team had a great chance to equalize the score again in the 84th minute and again from the penalty spot, but Harry Kane, who came close to the ball again, shot high this time and, in practice, deprived his team of the opportunity to fight for a place in the semi-finals.
The French team won 2:1 and is continuing the fight. The opponent of the French in the semi-finals is the Moroccan team, which unexpectedly left the Portuguese national team out of the competition.
France-Morocco semi-final match will take place on December 14. On December 13, Argentina and Croatia will fight for a place in the final.
