06 Jul 2018
62' Watching the replay you realise how shocking that was from Muslera who has been superb this campaign.
06 Jul 2018

06 Jul 2018
53' France dominating the early stages of the second-half, Uruguay feeling the pressure but clearly holding on.
06 Jul 2018

06 Jul 2018
45' Second-half is underway ...
06 Jul 2018
Varane's late first half goal is exactly what this match needed. Expecting the South American's to open up and attack in the next 45min.
Exciting contest. #WorldCup

44' WHAT A SAVE!
Uruguay win a free-kick from distance and the ball is floated in towards the France penalty area where Martin Caceres rises and thumps a strong low header towards the bottom corner. Lloris, with fantastic anticipation dives to the right to palm it away.

35' Rather interesting
06 Jul 2018
30' We're still goalless ...
06 Jul 2018
28' Laxalt and Mbappe are constantly in tug of war. Sooner or later the referee will intervene but great match for match hunger shown by both players.
06 Jul 2018
24' Mbappe is flooded by blue shirts as he immediately receives the ball on the right flank. Busy night ahead for defenders and attackers it seem.
06 Jul 2018
21' France, trying things at least as Mbappe attempts to play in Giroud but Uruguay have been defending superbly and play the offside trap, to which the striker is aware to.
06 Jul 2018
20' Griezmann seizes the moment and sees Mbappe in space he looks to play the PSG forward in but Laxalt cuts out the ball.
06 Jul 2018
18' POGBA!
His effort from 25-yards out goes well wide.
06 Jul 2018
15' MBAPPE!
Unlucky, the 19-year-old is unmarked in the penalty area and Giroud is aware and lobs a cross over. Mbappe rises and heads his effort over the cross bar. He had time to bring the ball down.
