Germany reach the semi-final of the WorldCup after Mats Hummels' header gave them a 1-0 win over France at the Maracana
Hummels, returning to the side after illness, nodded home a Toni Kroos free-kick in the 12th minute at the Maracana on Friday and that ultimately proved enough to book a semi-final date against hosts Brazil in Belo Horizonte next Tuesday.
France, beaten by Germany at this stage in 1982 - when Harald Schumacher infamously took out Patrick Battiston - and 1986, mounted several late attacks but lacked urgency overall, and could have no real complaints about the outcome of what was a disappointing duel between two European heavyweights.
Didier Deschamps made two changes to the side that began the 2-0 round-of-16 win over Nigeria. Mamadou Sakho replaced Laurent Koscielny at the back, while Antoine Griezmann was preferred to Olivier Giroud on the left side of the attack.
