Antoine Griezmann scored two goals for France on Thursday night as the host beat Germany 2-0 to secure a final ticket at the ongoing Euro 2016 Championships.
Though Germany had dominated the early exchanges, it was France that had the last laugh in the first half when they were gifted a late penalty by captain Bastain Schweinsteiger who handled the ball in the box.
Griezmann stepped out to masterfully bury the ball in the net to give France the crucial lead.
And while Germany came out in their numbers to fight for an equalizer, they were punished for slack defending in the 72nd minute when Griezmann completed his brace and scored what was his sixth goal of the tournament as he looks certain to win the Golden Boot Award.
The hosts will now face Portugal in the final in Paris on Sunday.
