France 1 : 0 Brazil| The defending champions Brazil were knocked out by France with a goal from Thierry Henry in the second half. The crucial goal came in the 57th minute when inspirational playmaker Zidane floated in a free-kick and unmarked Henry succeded to volley the ball into the net. The goal rewarded France's dominance in this game in which Zidane, Patrick Vieira and Thierry Henry were outstanding. The five-times champions Brazil were unable to gain revenge for their 1998' World Cup Final defeat as they looked outfit and psychologicaly weak. The World Cup is now an all-European affair, as the semi-finals are France vs. Portugal and Italy vs. Germany. |
