Michael Olise and Ousmane Dembélé allowed the Habs to return to the Croats in the second period. Thanks to this success the men of Didier Deschamps will face Spain in June for a place in the final of the competition.
Enterprising blues but not effective
Raised after the defeat in the first leg last Thursday, the partners of Kylian Mbappé started their meeting well by putting a lot of pressure on their opponents. Between pressing, intensity and aggressiveness in duels, the Habs have completely dominated their subject in this first act but without being precise in the last gesture.
Olise and Dembélé ring the revolt
As soon as the locker room returns, the bitters put the same ingredients back on the Croatian formation. But this time, the French were just and precise in the last meters. Michael Olise opens the scoring a few minutes before the time of play on a precise free kick and well executed technically slightly on the left side (1-0, 52nd).
A goal that will change the situation and give new impetus to the Blues who will push and crack the vice-world champions 2018. Michael Olise, untenable finds Ousmane Dembélé in the surface which perfectly concludes with the right foot (2-0, 80th). Equalization on all of the two meetings which send the two training courses to extensions.
Despite free situations, the 2018 world champions will not succeed in scoring this famous goal that would have changed everything.
Magic Maignan signs Croatia
France therefore made the difference during the penalty shootout. Kylian Mbappé, Aurélien Tchouameni, Randal Kolo Muani, Désiré Doué and Dayot Upamecano did not tremble in front of Livakovic.
A great specialist in shots on goals, Mike Maignan stopped the penalties of Martin Baturina and Josip Stanisic and allowed the Blues to qualify for the semi-finals of the League of Nations.
