France Advances to Euro 2024 Quarter-Finals

France advanced to the quarter-finals of Euro 2024 after a narrow 1-0 victory over Belgium, thanks to a late own goal by Jan Vertonghen. The match, held in Dusseldorf, was closely contested with few clear chances, and it took until the 85th minute for Randal Kolo Muani's scuffed shot to deflect off Vertonghen into the net. Didier Deschamps' side will now face the winner of the Portugal-Slovenia match, which was scoreless at halftime. Portugal dominated possession but failed to convert opportunities, including a close free kick by Cristiano Ronaldo, while Slovenia, in their first-ever knockout stage at the European Championship, also pushed hard but couldn't break the deadlock.
