After a two-day layoff, Friday marked the start of the 2018 FIFA World Cup quarterfinals, with France and Belgium each defeating South American powers to secure their tickets to the semifinals.
The day's first game between France and Uruguay saw the French side cruise to a 2-0 victory after goals in the 40th and 61st minute. Unfortunately for the Uruguayans, the second goal was a result of a goalkeeper fumble from palming the ball that eventually deflected into the net.
France are through!
