| Germany's Mats Hummels |
Mats Hummels scores a fantastic header to give his side seals fourth consecutive semi-final.
Germany became the first team to reach the semi-finals of the World Cup as Mats Hummels' first half header gave them a hard-fought 1-0 win against France of the quarter-final game at Estádio Maracanã, Rio de Janeiro, on Friday, July 4, 2014.
Germany will make its 12th World Cup semifinal appearance; no other country has more than 7 (Brazil, Italy).

Mathieu Valbuena and Antoine Griezmann forced Manuel Neuer into fine saves but Les Bleus could not find an equaliser to force extra-time.
Joachim Low's side will now face the winner of Brazil vs Colombia for a place in the final on July 13.

Germany defeats France, 1-0
