France qualify for the final of Fifa world cup 2018 in Russia.

In the first semi final, France beat Belgium 1-0 after Amuel Umtiti scored a superb goal in the second half at Saint Petersburg stadium.

PTV Sports telecast the match live.

A 51st minute goal by Samuel Umtiti means les bleus will now face England or Croatia in the final at Moscow's Luzhniki stadium on Sunday.

In a world cup replete with set-piece goals, a corner again proved decisive when Umtiti timed his run perfectly to meet Antoine Griezmann's delivery six minutes into the second half.

France were thankful for fine saves from goalkeeper Hugo Lloris either side of half-time.

French look to lift the trophy for the second time following their triumph on home soil in 1998.
