Fantastic France end Iceland's dream run with crushing win
- Giroud scores twice as France put five past Iceland
- Pogba, Griezmann and Payet also on target in 5-2 win
- France to face old rivals Germany in semi-finals
There was a brief respite for Iceland as they clawed a goal back 11 minutes after the break when Kolbeinn Sigthorsson slid in at the near post to convert Gylfi Sigurdsson's low cross, but their raised spirits were swiftly doused.
A simple lofted free kick from Payet three minutes later allowed Giroud to dart in front of the keeper and flick his header into the unguarded net.
With six minutes remaining, Bjarnason pulled another goal back for Iceland with a header but the tie, and Iceland's hopes of extending their dream run, were over as France looked forward to facing old rivals Germany in Marseille on Thursday.
