The best game of the quarterfinals of the Qatar 2022 World Cup was set to be this one. There were a lot of stars playing for both countries, and that led to a thrilling match. Given how well constructed they are, it is not a surprise how even it was. Although it was France the one that advanced to the semifinals with a 2-1 win over England.
It was a back-and-forth battle featuring two great teams during the whole clash. There were goal opportunities for each side, but it was Aurelien Tchouameni the player that opened the score. The French midfielder scored a great one from a long distance to make things 1-0 in the 17th minute. In the second half, Bukayo Saka was fouled by Tchouameni in the box and Harry Kane made the penalty kick for the tie.
But when it seemed the English were going for the win, Olivier Giroud scored with less than 15minutes to go. England responded quickly getting another penalty kick, although this time Kane missed it by a lot. France then moved on to the semifinals leaving a tough side behind. They are now going to play vs Morocco following their upset victory facing Portugal earlier in the day.
