England will have to beware the number of occasions that they're giving away possession early.
Here's Soler!
Oh, what a strike!
The French are level.
A terrific left-foot shot by Soler.
And it's Genghini.
It's on cue.
Here's Jerez.
And Platini.
Sainz is moved forward brilliantly and that's gone and done.
And Sique is clear and onside.
Didier Sique answering the call from Michel Hidalgo to really produce something in this game.
Not getting a very sympathetic reception from those who come here to support France.
But here's Soler.
Sique is in the middle.
And Bossy can set up Sique here.
And scores himself!
He battled on, Maxime Bossy.
Lacombe and Didier Sique were waiting in the middle.
But Bossy found a way through himself.
This is Amaral.
We are checking the header.
It hasn't cleared the danger.
Radimet.
Soler.
Lacombe.
And it's a big line.
No easier chance.
Six minutes from half-time.
No Platini, of course, who is the master of the free kick.
But we've seen enough.
In Spain, from players like Gengini, who's standing over the ball,
to know that they're not a one-man band in dead ball situations.
Concilia's goalkeeping.
Beautifully bent. Beautifully flighted.
Concilia too late.
I don't think one can say too much against a goalkeeper.
It was a magnificent free kick.
Rostow on the far touchline.
He comes infield as Soler goes out to take the flank.
This is Platini.
Platini against McCreery.
And now against Donachie.
Round them both.
The Platini's technique and confidence.
And Girard is finishing.
Too much for the Irish defence.
Trezor.
What a goal that was, Gerry.
But I think, good control.
Defenders have thought they've done it all.
Pat Jennings probably thought his angle was right.
And adversely now puts Ireland out of the competition.
It's played for Rostow.
Rostow touches.
Jurres to Tigana.
Chips in the free kick.
Heading in towards Rostow.
And the referee says penalty.
Ben Furster with a challenge.
On Dominique Rostow.
And the Dutch referee says there was holding.
And France have a way back into this game.
Platini with the header one.
And you can see Furster had a...
Full of the shirt of Dominique Rostow.
Good header one by Platini.
I think the referee's got this one right.
Michel Platini.
To equalise.
1-1.
Never in doubt was it his 22nd international goal.
And the France captain brings his country back on level terms.
Schumacher set the wrong way.
Oh, Trezor's free.
Oh, 2-1 France.
Who is picking up? Marius Trezor.
It's a wonderful moment for the 32-year-old.
And right at the start of extra time.
France leave West Germany 2-1.
Platini.
Six.
Still to the ace, Six.
This is Jurres.
Oh, 3-1 France.
Alain Jurres.
Surely now France are heading to the final.
The Tricolores are out in force in Seville.
And Alain Jurres has given them a 2-goal advantage in extra time.
...on the ex-tackle.
But he's done well.
Lato trying to fight it.
Tigana.
Girard.
And typical of the French, prepared to shoot from any range.
A little...
...are masters at defending.
Tigana.
Send in towards Curiel.
Can he make up for his earlier mistake?
So, the French put it back to 3-2.
And Curiel, having missed with a header moments earlier,
did rather better when the ball was on the ground.
Took it down well from that good through ball.
And just judged it right as Winarchik came out.
