Mats Hummels returns from a flu to head Germany into a fourth straight World Cup semi-final, 1—0 over European rivals France.
The Borussia Dortmund defender Hummels was on target in the 13th minute off Toni Kroos’ free-kick as Germany reached the last four a 13th time overall and are one game away from returning to the Maracana for the July 13 final.
But first comes a Tuesday semi-final in Belo Horizonte against hosts Brazil or Colombia, who were playing later Friday in Fortaleza.
Coach Joachim Loew made key tactical changes compared to previous games but it was a nervy affair before they had beaten France for the third straight time in four World Cup meetings.
