France striker Antoine Griezmann, who notched up a goal and an assist, was named the man of the match for his heroics in Friday’s World Cup quarter-final against Uruguay in Nizhny Novgorod.
Varane opened the scoring on 40 minutes before Griezmann made it 2-0 just after the hour mark, following a dreadful error from Fernando Muslera in the Uruguay goal.
France, meanwhile, now turn their attentions to the last four and Tuesday’s semi in St. Petersburg.
