France scored a late winner to book its spot in the Euro 2024 quarterfinals thanks to a hard-fought 1-0 victory against Belgium on July 1.
With five minutes remaining of normal time, Randal Kolo Muani’s effort deflected off helpless Belgium defender Jan Vertonghen to secure France’s win.
It was a tight affair at the Düsseldorf Arena, with little to separate the two sides, with French superstar Kylian Mbappé often on the periphery on the game.
Two-time European champion France has reached the final in three of the last four major international tournaments - the World Cup in 2022 and 2018 and Euro 2016 - and is now just three wins away from lifting another major trophy.
