There was plenty at stake in the game, with the winners progressing to face either England or Croatia in Sunday's World Cup final.
However, the game was by no means cagey and instead provided a good spectacle for the neutral.
Both sides looked dangerous when going forward, which made it all the more surprising that it took 51 minutes for the opening goal to arrive.
When it did come, it was a set-piece that provided it.
Antoine Griezmann flighted in a corner from the right and Umtiti was able to get the run on his marker to flick a header beyond Thibaut Courtois and into the back of the Belgium net to put 'Les Bleus' in the driving seat.
