The French team was able to advance to the semi-finals with this victory for the second time in a row. In a game that was shifting at every second, England captain Harry Kane missed the penalties.
England was defeated by France
For the first time in the World Cup, France defeated England. In the past, England had defeated France in 1966 and 1982. England was defeated by France 2-1 in an exciting game. Both teams came out fighting in the opening minutes of the game, but in the 17th minute, France's Orélien Chaumeny scored from beyond the penalty area to put his team ahead 1-0.
The score remained 1-0 at the interval. England was able to recover thanks to a goal from captain Harry Kane. Olivier Giroud of France gave his team a 2-1 advantage in the 78th minute by scoring a header off of Griezmann's excellent ball. Mason Mount of England was then fouled by Frenchman Hernandes in the 81st minute. The result was a penalty for England. Once more advancing to take the penalty shot, Harry Kane missed it this time, and the ball went over the goal post.
France is two steps away from making history
Right now, France is only two steps away from making history. The French team will become the first side to win two World Cups straight in the last 60 years if it is successful in defending its championship. Brazil completed this task previously. In 1958 and 1962, he won the World Cup twice in a row. Since that time, no team has been able to win two World Cups in a row.
