France progressed to the Euro 2016 semifinals as they brought an end to Iceland’s remarkable tournament with a comprehensive victory at the Stade de France.
Olivier Giroud, Paul Pogba, Dimitri Payet and Antoine Griezmann were all on target inside the opening 45 minutes as France set up a meeting with 2014 World Cup winners Germany in Marseille on Thursday.
Iceland’s Kolbeinn Sigthorsson pulled one back early in the second half before Giroud added his second and, while Birkir Bjarnason added a second for Iceland late on, it was a straightforward victory for the hosts.
