France have eliminated Cristiano Ronaldo, Bruno Fernandes and Portugal’s Pepe and are now in the ‘4’ of Euro 2024, confirming that they are one of the favorites for the tournament.
The Tricolore qualified in the penalty, where the Portuguese were not on target or unlucky this time and so France Kylian Mbappe gets a ticket to the semi-finals. Joao Felix missed his own penalty as they lost 5-3.
Three minutes after the start of extra time, Portugal scored a goal. Conceição made a nice effort from the right and it turned on Ronaldo whose shot from the height of the small area was well off the mark. In the second half of extra time, Felix’s leader was unable to beat Menian with the ball finding the side of the net. In the closing stages of the game, Portugal Mendes missed a huge chance to end the game, but Menian again had an answer to keep a clean sheet.
