Uruguay 0-2 France: Griezmann and Varane send Les Bleus into semi-finals after Muslera error
7/6/2018 7:23:40 PM
Raphael Varane's glancing header and a goalkeeping blunder that gifted Antoine Griezmann a soft goal gave France a 2-0 victory over Uruguay in the first World Cup 2018 quarter-final.
Varane's 40th-minute header from a Griezmann free-kick was only the second goal Uruguay had conceded all tournament. The South Americans went close to equalising just before the break, only for Martin Caceres's goal-bound header to be brilliantly turned away by goalkeeper Hugo Lloris.
