Antoine Griezmann scored twice Thursday as France beat title holders Germany 2-0 to seal a spot in the Euro 2016 last against Portugal. Having changed over a dubious first-half punishment for Bastian Schweinsteiger's handball, Griezmann put the outcome certain with a sweetly struck second half shot.
"We endured however we thumped them out," said French mentor Didier Deschamps after the diversion in which Germany overwhelmed ownership. France's players celebrate subsequent to winning the Euro 2016 semi-last football match amongst Germany and France at the Stade Velodrome in Marseille on July 7, 2016. The triumph in Marseille mean Les Bleus face Cristiano Ronaldo-drove Portugal in Sunday's last at the Stade de France.
Griezmann is currently the top scorer at the European Championship finals with six objectives. France's first win over Germany in their fifth meeting at real finals left a disputable punishment just before half-time. Italian arbitrator Nicola Rizzoli's took a bird peered toward choice. Schweinsteiger surrendered the punishment as replays demonstrated his arm touched the ball as he put his arms up while checking Patrice Evra from a corner.
Germany's stars swarmed Rizzoli, incensed with the choice. Be that as it may, it was a conclusive blow from which the 2014 World Cup victors never recouped. With Mats Hummels suspended, in addition to Mario Gomez and Sami Khedira harmed, Germany were constrained into changes at the Stade Velodrome. Liverpool's guarded midfielder Emre Can made his first begin at Euro 2016, winning just his seventh top, for Khedira close by Bastian Schweinsteiger.
Thomas Mueller began as striker for Gomez while Benedikt Hoewedes assumed Hummels position at focus back close by Jerome Boateng. France mentor Didier Deschamps kept confidence with the same beginning side which beat Iceland 5-2 in the last eight, holding Samuel Umtiti and Moussa Sissoko. Both sides were a long way from clinical in the opening trades with French and Germans alike blameworthy of splashing passes wide of their proposed man.
A feeble Griezmann shot and a Dimitri Payet free-kick directly at Manuel Neuer were France's best risks right off the bat. At the flip side, Germany were messy with a series of chances before objective while Schweinsteiger let go over from extent. The title holders initially gave suggestions tempers were flaring when Can got a 36th-minute reserving for pulling Griezmann down. At that point there was frenzy in the German protection minutes after the fact when Olivier Giroud split clean away. Just a superbly planned tackle from the irately back-selling Benedikt Hoewedes obstructed his shot.
France were substance to sit profound, giving Germany a chance to run the midfield with Griezmann and Moussa Sissoko holding up to counter-assault with little achievement. The punishment swung the amusement. Mesut Ozil joined Schweinsteiger in grabbing a booking by kicking the ball away while Mueller needed to control a couple of his German colleagues.
All things considered, Griezmann demonstrated a composed attitude by thankfully pummeling his shot past Neuer in the second moment of included time. France drove 1-0 at the break, despite the fact that Germany had 64 percent of the primary half ownership and 11 endeavors on objective to France's six. The objective inhaled life through the French group for the second-half as the Germans turned out to be perpetually disappointed.
With 25 minutes left, Germany mentor Joachim Loew tossed on Mario Goetze for Can in the trust the World Cup victor could again create some enchantment. Germany's issues were intensified as shield Jerome Boateng ran off with damage with 61 minutes gone. Griezmann settled the matter when Paul Pogba's cross from the left was cleared by Neuer into the Atletico Madrid stars way to flame home on 72 minutes.
In a last bet to maintain a strategic distance from their first annihilation at a finals since the Euro 2012 semi-finals, Loew exchanged winger Leroy Sane for Schweinsteiger with 10 minutes to go, however France held firm.
