Giroud, always in the right place, but not always as clinical in his finishing had a chance to double the lead after Mbappe's backheel, but Courtois, for the second time in the game, made a vital stop
Dries Mertens came on, Lloris punched his first cross clear and Fellaini headed his second wide.
Belgium were pressing, but vulnerable on the break with both Hazard and Toby Alderweireld booked for stopping counterattacks and Axel Witsel also lucky to escape similar punishment.
Witsel stung Lloris's gloves from range, but the French keeper had a good view of it and the French were street smart enough to ensure Belgium didn't trouble him again, while Griezmann could have killed the game off completely in injury time.
So France and thousands of their supporters will be in Moscow on Sunday: the last time that many French were in the Russian capital was with Napoleon in 1812. That time it didn't end well, this time they will hope to truly conquer the city... and the World.
