France advanced to the 2018 FIFA World Cup final late Tuesday by beating Belgium 1-0 in a semifinal match in St. Petersburg.

France broke the deadlock in the 51st minute as French defender Samuel Umtiti found the net by a header. French forward Antoine Griezmann had taken the corner before Umtiti's goal.
