Coverage of the first quarter-final match from the Estadio do
Maracana in Rio de Janeiro, featuring the sides that came through
the last-16 fixtures on Monday. This is the first meeting between
the nations at a World Cup finals since 1986, when they clashed in
the semi-final for the second time in succession. Germany were
victorious on that occasion, as they were in 1982 in a penalty
shootout after one of the all-time classic matches, and calling a
winner this time is equally difficult. Both struggled in their
last-16 fixtures against Nigeria and Algeria respectively, looking
distinctly second best until the second half, as their African
opponents missed chances and ultimately lacked the experience and
quality to cause an upset. Germany needed extra time to secure a 2-1
triumph, while two late goals for France saw them through, and the
winners of this tie will face Brazil or Colombia in the first
semi-final on Tuesday
