France Snatch Euro Last 8 Spot With Late Winner
DUSSELDORF, GERMANY - JULY 01: Randal Kolo Muani of France celebrates scoring his teams first goal with teammate Kylian Mbappe, whilst wearing a Black Protective Face Mask, during the UEFA EURO 2024 round of 16 match between France and Belgium at Düsseldorf Arena on July 01, 2024 in Dusseldorf, Germany. France made only two changes following their draw against Poland, as Antoine Griezmann and Marcus Thuram joined face-masked Kylian Mbappe and Adrian Rabiot in attack.
The game was evenly matched in the early exchanges, with Les Bleus having the most promising attacks but not clinical in front of goal. Les Bleus had the upper hand towards the end of the first stanza but their bulk possession did not translate into clear chances, as the Red Devils were seemingly content with a nil-nil scoreline at half-time but needed to improve their attacking threat in the second stanza.France upped their tempo from the interval as four minutes later Aurelien Tchouameni forced a save out of goalkeeper Koen Casteels.
Just after the hour-mark, Deschamps brought on the fresh upfront of Randal Kolo Muani, who replaced Thuram.
