Zinedine Zidane Wraps It Up

Second Round Match

Travel to Spain Spain vs Travel to France France
in Hannover

Previous Encounters:
On the past seven encounters, France have won five and drawn one but this is their first meeting in World Cup football.

Spain won the last meeting (2:1), a friendly in Barcelona on 28th March, 2001. While France won the Euro 2000 match in Bruges (2:1) and both preliminary games for Euro 1996.

The Match:
After twenty minutes of play, both teams were still looking for a scoring opportunity. Plenty of ball movement, so we just hope it doesn't turn into a disappointment of Switzerland vs Ukraine proportions.

Then the opening came in the 27th minute when Lilian Thuram went into the back of Ibanez Pablo. David Villa cooly slotted the penalty between the post and Fabien Barthez.

Franck Ribery levelled the score just before half-time as France finally beat the offside trap.

Half-time: (1:1)

The second-half started much the way of the first, so Luis Aragones made an early double substitution to try and gain the advantage.

Spain started to do a few long back-passes, when they couldn't get through France, hoping a Cassilas kick would inspire something.

Then from a Pernia cross, in the 67th minute, Luis Garcia headed down so powerfully that the ball bounced over the bar.

When Carles Puyol became only the second player to be booked in the game, it was to prove costly for Spain. As Zinedine Zidane floated the ball over to the far post, Patrick Vieira headed onto Sergio Ramos's leg and the ball went past Iker Casillas.

The, after getting a yellow card himself, Zinedine Zidanewrapped the game up with France's third goal to set up a quarter-final meeting with Brazil.

Final Score:
Travel to Spain Spain 1 - Travel to France France 3
