England vs France, FIFA World Cup 2022, Quarter-Final Highlights: Defending Champs France Beat England 2-1 To Reach Semi-Finals

England vs France FIFA World Cup 2022 Highlights: France sealed a 2-1 win vs England in their quarter-final fixture of the ongoing FIFA World Cup 2022, at the Al Bayt Stadium in Qatar on Sunday. The defending champions took the lead via a long-range effort from Aurelien Tchouameni in the 17th-minute. England equalised after Harry Kane converted a penalty in the 54th-minute, followed by Oliver Giroud restoring France’s lead in the 78th-minute. Kane could have equalised for England once again but missed his penalty. After the win, France will face Morocco in the semi-finals.

Jude Bellingham’s stinging attempt was tipped over the crossbar by Lloris, and England goalkeeper Pickford kept out a Giroud volley from close range as the sides traded chances during the second half.

Three-time Premier League Golden Boot winner Kane became the first player to both score and miss a penalty in a World Cup match since Michal Bilek for Czechoslovakia against USA in 1990.

France will return to the same setting to meet Morocco in the semifinals on Wednesday, while 2018 semifinalists England’s first defeat in Qatar means they are out, despite a commendable overall performance.

France or Morocco will meet Argentina or Croatia, who play on Tuesday, in the final on December 18.
