France are through to the Euro 2024 semifinals, thanks to a penalty shootout win against Portugal.
They will face Spain in the next round, after Germany’s exit.
Portugal’s Joao Felix missed the decisive penalty in Hamburg’s Volksparkstadion on Friday night, sending France through to the semifinals.
Joao Felix’s penalty against the post was the only miss of the shootout, as France won 5-3 on penalties after a 0-0 draw following extra time.
The game was goalless after 90 minutes, despite a strong start to the second half for Portugal and a sharp save to deny French star Kylian Mbappe in the last moments of regular time.
The winner will face Spain in the first semifinal next Tuesday, July 9. Spain dashed hosts Germany’s hopes in Stuttgart in Friday’s earlier quarterfinal, winning 2-1 after extra time.
