France beat Uruguay 2-0, advance to semi-finals
France have advanced to the semi-finals of Russia 2018 FIFA World Cup. They beat Uruguay 2-0 on Friday in Nizhny Novgorod, with defender Raphael Varane opening scores on 40 minutes with a glancing header off a free kick taken by Antoine Griezman.
And Griezman later made it two on 61 minutes, after his shot was parried by Uruguayan keeper Fernando Muslera into the net.
France now awaits the winner of the Brazil/Belgium game to know who they will face on Tuesday in Nizhny Novgorod.
