The World Cup returns to Saint Petersburg after an absence in the quarter-finals. And immediately with the
France and Belgium – another conversation. In addition, in the semifinals of the World Cup. With the teams that all their previous matches have won in the first 90 minutes. And the Belgians in the heart of the favorite fans of St. Petersburg Axel Witsel have come out in the base.
Although the party did not feel very much in the city. Of course, since the morning, the Belgians have organized costumed performances on the Nevsky. But such a spectacle, as did the Argentineans or the Brazilians, was not in sight.
Belgian football players seemed too confident. During the pre-game warm-up, they came out much later than their rivals (Witsel usually came out a few minutes after everyone was already on the field), and they did not go out. not stretch for more than ten minutes
.
In fact, the first half has turned out to be more boring nowhere. Although the players have pumped their stats. At Azar, for example, for the 45 minutes of departure, the accuracy of the transmissions was 100%. And Olivier Giraud continued to do what Euro-2012 scolded Alexander Kerzhakov. In the middle of the semi-finals, striker Chelsea racked up ten hits on the opponent's goal, none of which flew to the target.
After the break, the French quickly advanced. After the canopy of the corner, Samuel Umtiti was at the right time in the right place. And Marouane Felleiny, who was in charge of his tutelage, did not work very well
After marking Belgium, Umtiti blocked the record of Juiste Fontaine and became the youngest author of the goal of the 39, French national team in the semi-finals of the World Cup
. Antoine Grizmann. After this episode, he had three goals and two badists. In addition to scoring chances in the tournament, only Harry Kane participated. At the end of the hour of play, Belgian head coach Roberto Martinez kicked off the fight from Dries Mertens instead of Moussa Dembele, who had not shown at all.
Belgium continues its sad series: the "red devils" were invariably missed during the last 13 matches
The Belgians were racing to recover. But the usual tactics for such cases, "put on Fellaini, and he will jump into the door" this time failed. Therefore, he was replaced by Jannic Carrasco
The most accurate time to equalize the score with the Belgians was ten minutes before the end of regulation time. Witsel did well at twenty meters, but Lloris pulled the ball.
As a result, France waits for the opponent in the final, and the Belgians stay in St. Petersburg until the match for third place.
