The England captain hammered the ball over the crossbar on his second penalty attempt of the game in a 2\u002D1 loss to France
“Obviously, it’s a really tough night to take,” Kane said. “The team is gutted. We believed that we could do something special at this World Cup, but it came down to small details. On the night, we had the better chances, we had the better spells in the game.
Hernandez put his shoulder into Mount’s back on a ball played over the top. Brazilian referee Wilson Sampaio at first ignored the infraction, but was beckoned by the booth to have a second look. On replay, it was obvious Hernandez fouled Mount in the box. Olivier Giroud scored the winning goal in the 78th minute heading in a cross whipped into the box by Antoine Griezmann. Giroud beat England centre back Harry Maguire to the ball and flicked it past goalkeeper Jordan Pickford.
“Just before I had a chance that I tried to place, and I should have hit it a bit harder maybe and I could have scored,” Giroud said. “I thought that I might get another chance and I did. I got another chance just after and it when it came to me, it was just unbelievable to score.”Article content Kane did get his chance to take a penalty, nine minutes into the second half, however, when forward Bukayo Saka was tripped by Tchouameni in the penalty area.“Harry has nothing to reproach himself for, we’re in the position we are as a team because of his leadership, because of his goals over a long period of time,” said England head coach Gareth Southgate. “Tonight, the result is the result because of 100 minutes of football and lots of things that happen at both ends of the pitch.
France also had its chances before Giroud would go on to score to give France the lead and keeps its hopes of repeating as World Cup champions alive.“We can’t get ahead ourselves, we’re getting to the semifinals; we’re getting closer to the final and it was an important achievement tonight,” said France head coach Didier Deschamps. “We have an important game on Wednesday. We can be satisfied with what we’ve done so far, but we want to go further.
