France vs Belgium’s Euro 2024 Round of 16 match started the with full attacking forces.
France booked their place in the Euro 2024 quarter-finals as a late own goal by Belgium defender Jan Vertonghen condemned his side to a 1-0 last-16 defeat in Dusseldorf.
Despite two-time winners France dominating large swathes of a scrappy match, extra time looked likely until Vertonghen deflected the ball into his own net on 85 minutes in trying to block a shot by France substitute Randal Kolo Muani.
France have yet to score a goal from open play in four matches at the tournament, but were overall deserving winners – they enjoyed 19 attempts at goal compared to five from their opponents – as they progressed to a quarter-final meeting with Portugal or Slovenia in Hamburg on Friday evening.

TALKING POINT: FRANCE WIN WITH PLENTY LEFT IN TANK
France dominated this match without ever finding their most clinical levels of finishing.
It would have been interesting to see their response if they had fallen behind in Dusseldorf, but they always looked comfortable and confident in keeping the ball against a Belgium side who were forced to play much of the match on the counter attack.
Coach Didier Deschamps will be relieved his side are through to the last eight, but his life will become markedly easier against Portugal or Slovenia if captain Kylian Mbappe starts to find goals to accompany some dominant passing play from a midfield simply oozing class.
The one blot on their day was Adrien Rabiot collecting a booking that will see him suspended in the quarter-finals.
PLAYER OF THE MATCH: WILLIAM SALIBA (FRANCE)
The Arsenal central defender is a superb and assured performer for club and country. Did a fine marking job to keep Romelu Lukaku quiet for the majority of a tense encounter and almost scored the winner as France totted up the shots in the second half.
