France Advances to Euro 2024 Quarterfinals

France defeated Belgium 1-0 to advance to the Euro 2024 quarterfinals, thanks to a deflected shot by substitute Randal Kolo Muani in the 85th minute. The winning goal came after Kolo Muani's shot rebounded off Belgian defender Jan Vertonghen, looping over the goalkeeper. France will face either Portugal or Slovenia in the quarterfinal match on Friday. Kylian Mbappe, wearing a mask to protect his broken nose, had a lackluster performance with five off-target shots. Meanwhile, UEFA is investigating England's Jude Bellingham for a potentially offensive gesture made during a win against Slovakia, which could result in his suspension for the quarterfinal against Switzerland. The match was marked by frustration among French fans despite the win, as they expect more from their talented squad.
