France Are Through To The World Cup Final

France are through to the World Cup final after they beat Belgium 1-0 in the semifinals of the competition.

Didier Deschamps' men overcame their neighbours to reach their the final, where they'll play the winners of tomorrow's game between Croatia and England.

Despite no goals coming in the first half, there were a number of chances that fell to each team, in what was an entertaining match.

But it was Samuel Umtiti who opened the scoring in the second half. Inside 50 minutes, he beat Marouane Fellaini to the ball and headed home from a corner kick.

Belgium saw out a decent period of play. Fellaini almost scored with a headed effort that just went wide of mark of the wide. But that was it for the Red Devils.

Lots of the attention turned to France star Kylian Mbappe, whose trickery and breath-taking skills helped the side reach the final. He's well and truly announced himself on the World Cup.

They will now face either England or Croatia in the final of the World Cup at the Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow.
