Match Commentary
93' FULL-TIME: France win a very tight second-round clash. Spain will consider themselves unlucky; they probably deserved extra-time, but will again head home from a major tournament earlier than expected. France, meanwhile, will face Brazil in the quarter-finals. |
93' GOAL! Zidane puts the seal on the victory as France break; he cuts inside Puyol in the penalty area and drills a low shot past Castillas. |
92' Zidane is booked for taking away the legs of young Fabregas. The referee has gone a bit card-happy, after a long spell keeping them in his pockets. |
