End of 2nd Half
FT
FULL-TIME
It's another defeat for Germany! The pressure cranks up on Joachim Low whose side have now lost six of their last 10 games. France were second-best for large parts but still did enough to win the game. Relegation looms large for Die Mannschaft. France have one foot in the finals.

France are playing the better football now, but they ought to be wary of the Germany counter-attack. Deschamps' defence is playing incredibly high.

The France supporters have found their voices and this game is really set up for an enthralling finale.

SHOT!
France lose the ball in their own area. Kroos feeds it to Gnabry whose strike is terrific but it's too straight and at a comfortable height for Lloris who parries the ball away to safety.
