France managed to reach 2018 World Cup beating Belgium narrowly. The only goal was scored by Samuel Umtiti at the beginning of the second half. He showed himself as a fantastic master of headers beating Marouane Fellaini and netting a beautiful goal.

The episode turned out to be crucial for an evenly contested game where not many chances were created. Belgium were proactive at the end of the second half when Eden Hazard was there to torment the defence of Les Bleus. However, France was good on counterattacks with quick Mbappe and Griezmann.

After the goal the Red Devils controlled the ball, but did not create really good opportunities, while France could have scored. Tibaut Courtios was the hero in many episodes, but even his magic did not take Belgium to the final.

France went there for the first time since 2006 to meet the winners of Croatia vs England pair.
