France created more chances to score and got several shots on target against Croatia goalkeeper Dominik Livakovic, but the performance was far from great. It was a miserable night to return the world’s best player, who last played in his team for four games.

The second leg will be in Paris on Sunday. The semi-finalists of this tie will play either defending champs Spain or Netherlands in the semis in June.
