FIFA World Cup 2014: France vs Germany 58th Match in Pictures
Mats Hummels headed the winner as Germany beat old rivals France 1-0 to advance to the World Cup semi-finals for a record fourth straight time on Friday.
Borussia Dortmund defender Hummels rose to head home Toni Kroos's free-kick on 13 minutes to settle a cagey encounter at Rio de Janeiro's Maracana Stadium.
Joachim Loew's side will now play the winner of Friday's second quarter-final between Brazil or Colombia in next Tuesday's semi-final in Belo Horizonte.
France had entered the match quietly confident of avenging semi-final defeats against Germany in 1982 and 1986.
The quarter-final drama continues Saturday when the Netherlands play Costa Rica and Belgium take on Argentina.
