France vs Uruguay: 5 Talking Points as Les Bleus Seal Semi-Final Spot, World Cup 2018

#4 The greatest save vs the biggest blunder in goal at the World Cup

Uruguay v France: Quarter Final - 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia

In essence, this match was a tale of two goalkeepers - France's captain Hugo Lloris and Uruguay's veteran 'keeper Fernando Muslera.

Both goalkeepers have played more than 100 matches each but it was the Tottenham goalkeeper Lloris who saved his side in the quarter-final while Muslera let his team down.

Uruguay's best chance to score in the first half came through a set-piece - as they usually do - when Martin Caceres directed a header goalward. It seemed like a certain goal but Lloris dived to his right to make what was arguably the save of the tournament.

He even had the presence of mind to get up and scramble for the rebound, throwing off an onrushing Diego Godin's aim as he blasted the ball off target from two yards out.

In contrast, Muslera was under no pressure to make a save from Griezmann's long-range strike. However, he completely misjudged its flight and only ended up punching the ball into his own net.

At 1-0, Uruguay were still in the game. But that mistake seemed to knock the stuffing out of them. David De Gea (vs Portugal) and Willy Caballero (vs Croatia) are right up there among the worst errors in this World Cup but the timing and occasion of Muslera's error makes it the worst.
