66' - GOOOAL! Now everything is opening up for France - Usman Dembele went through the middle, and his shot could have been saved better this time by Bono.

The man who reached his 20th goal at the World Cup (only Messi is ahead with one more) masterfully hit a diagonal shot from the left into the far corner - even the in-form Bono had no chance.
