Germany will play the USA in the Women's World Cup semifinals, after a thrilling quarterfinal victory on Friday.
Some poise from the spot saw Germany progress to the semifinals past France, after finishing extra time 1-1.
Louisa Necib's 64th-minute opener in Montreal had looked to have given France passage to the last four, before referee Carol Anne Chenard pointed to the spot after Amel Majri was adjudged to have handled the ball in the area.
Celia Sasic made no mistake with the penalty in the 84th minute, and the German striker was also key in the shootout.
