Jul 1, 2024, 05:52 PM

France has advanced to the quarter-finals of Euro 2024 after a 1-0 victory over Belgium. The decisive goal came in the 85th minute when a deflected strike from Randal Kolo Muani resulted in an own goal by Jan Vertonghen. This marks the third goal for France in the tournament, all of which have been either penalties or own goals. Belgium's elimination comes despite a strong defensive performance, with notable contributions from players like Aurelien Tchouaméni, who had a 92% passing accuracy, and William Saliba, who completed 97% of his passes. N'Golo Kanté also delivered a masterclass performance. France will face the winner of the Portugal-Slovenia match in the next round.
