FINAL WHISTLE!!!
France wins 2:0 with the goals of Antoine Griezmann!!!

23:51
Germany were very close this time, but Lloris makes a tremendous save.

23:49
Griezmann leaves the pitch under the applauses of over 60,000 fans. What a match for him, scoring the 2 goals for his team. Cabaye replaces him in a tactical substitution.

23:48
Four minutes is the added time.

23:46
Didier Deschamps won the European Championships 16 years ago as captain. He is only one match away now from winning it again, this time as a coach!

23:45
3 minutes separate France from reaching the final!

23:41

France celebrates their second goal against Germany!
Totally deserved it.

23:37

23:34
And with that one, Griezmann becomes the player to score the most goals at a single European Championships.

23:30
GRIEZMAAAAAAAAAN, 2:0!!!!!
Makes 64,000 French fans at Stade Veldrome erupt again.

23:29
Payet comes off for N'Golo Kante. Does that change the tactics?

23:25
Half an hour to go. Germany control the game, but they are out of the tournament if the result remains the same. No real tests for Lloris during the second half. Expect this to change soon. Are we going to see some late drama in this match?

23:18
The match is over for Jerome Boateng. He leaves the pitch injured to be replaced by Mustafi.

23:08
Draxler receives a yellow card for his tackle against Sissoko.

Hete is Griezmann's goal once again:

23:03
Germany set the ball rolling for the second half.

23:00
The Germans have never been the runner-up after the first half on Euro 2016. Is France too good for them? They only have 45 minutes to turn it round.

22:57
The last minute goal by Griezmann makes for a great second half. Germany will be forced to come out and attack. Do the French deserve to be ahead in the result after the first half though?

22:52

Griezmann scores for 1:0
Marseille erupts!!!

22:48
And with that the first half is over. France is leading 1:0!
