Cool as you like.

Just when it seemed like there would be no goals in the first half of France's semi-final versus Germany at Euro 2016, the referee, Nicola Rizzoli, noticed that Patrice Evra headed the ball on to Bastian Schweinsteiger's right arm and awarded a penalty kick to Les Bleus.

Up stepped Antoine Griezmann, who sent Manuel Neuer the wrong way and rendered Germany's half-hour of pressure completely meaningless.

Schweinsteiger was also issued a yellow card for the foul.
