Euro 2024: France advances to semifinals after penalty shootout win over Portugal
Les Bleus edge out rivals in tense quarterfinal clash
France has booked their place in the Euro 2024 semifinals after a hard-fought penalty shootout victory over Portugal on Friday. The match finished 0-0 after regulation and extra time, but France ultimately prevailed 5-3 in the shootout.
The game was a tense and evenly contested affair, with both teams creating chances but unable to find a breakthrough. France had the better of the possession in the first half, but Portugal came out strong in the second half and had several good opportunities to score. The game went to extra time, but neither team could find a winning goal, so the match went to a penalty shootout.
France converted all five of their penalties, while Portugal missed two. Kylian Mbappé scored the winning penalty for France, sending Les Bleus through to the semifinals. France will now face either Spain or Italy in the semifinals, while Portugal's Euro 2024 campaign comes to an end.
