Summary
As expected it has been a cagey affair in the opening half of the 2018 World Cup Semi-final as France and Belgium try to outdo each other at the Saint Petersburg Stadium, St. Petersburg in Russia. There has not been a lot to choose between the two sides with crisp passing, bursts of pace and glimpses of invention – but no goal as yet. The two goalkeepers have responded well to the few attempts thrown at them, Courtois and Iloris saving sure goals from Pavard and Matuidi respectively.
Moments
13′ Pogba aims a searching long pass towards Mbappe who breezes past Kompany and Vertonghen but he can’t reach the ball before Courtois races off his line and jumps on it.
15′ Hazard scurrying into the left-hand side of the French box and firing low and hard beyond the far post.
18′ Matuidi has a blast from nearly 20 yards but straight at Courtois.
19′ Hazard collects the ball near the corner flag, then darts past Pavard and shoots but his fizzing effort is headed a yard over the bar by Varane!
21′ Alderwerield swivels and shoots from 14 yards but Lloris hurls himself across goal to tip the ball around the post.

COVID-19: Buhari govt under fire over money sharing, exclusion of South-East Trendingnews  A South-East group, Igbo Renaissance Forum has knocked the President Muhammadu Buhari-led government over its approach to the N20,000 stimulus package for the ‘poorest in the society.’ The group said it was baffling that the government decided to share a total of ₦52bn to 2.6 million poor families in cash, without a clear system for accountability and transparency. The Forum described as shocking government decision to give cash to individuals across the table, adding that by this, the Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Disaster Management, Sadiya Umar Farouq, had flouted the government’s order on social distancing and clearly contravenes the money laundering Act. Calling for accountability, the Forum demanded that the ministry should immediately make available on their website, the details of those who were benefiting from the stimulus exercise. “It has also become very evident...
