HANOVER - Patrick Vieira and Zinedine Zidane put France into the quarter-finals of the World Cup with two late goals in a 3-1 victory over Spain on Tuesday.
Vieira nodded home off a defender in the 83rd minute following a Zidane free kick and Zidane himself secured victory in stoppage time after France had come from behind.
David Villa had given Spain the lead with a penalty in the 28th minute after Lilian Thuram brought down Pablo Ibanez in the area.
But Franck Ribery equalised for France in the 41st minute, racing on to a Vieira pass and rounding keeper Iker Casillas to score.
France will play Brazil in the quarter-finals on Saturday in Frankfurt.
