Olivier Giroud Celebrates Goal
Olivier Giroud rose and headed defending Champions France past England just 12 minutes from time into the semifinal of the World Cup 2022 with a 2-1 win on Saturday.
England were left rue the missed second penalty after Harry Kane skied the ball past the post.
Aurelien Tchouameni put France ahead with a long-range strike after 17 minutes but England skipper Harry Kane equalised with a 54th-minute penalty following a foul by the French midfielder on Bukayo Saka.
The strike took him level with Wayne Rooney as England's all-time join scorer.
Giroud headed home the winner from an Antoine Griezmann cross and England's hopes of getting back on level terms again foundered when Kane skied a second penalty over the bar six minutes from the final whistle.
France will play Morocco for a place in the final on Wednesday after the North Africans beat Portugal 1-0 in Saturday's earlier quarterfinal.
