For the fourth successive World Cup and the 13th in 20 appearances all-time, the Germans advanced to the semifinals here Friday, beating France 1-0 on a scorching afternoon at the Maracanã Stadium. The breakthrough for the Germans came just 12 minutes in. Toni Kroos whipped a free kick into the penalty box, Mats Hummels outmuscled Raphaël Varane to put his head on the cross and direct it toward the right corner. The ball hit the underside of the crossbar and fell into the net. Hugo Lloris, the French goalkeeper, barely moved.
