France go to quarterfinals of Euro 2024 as late goal from Muani defeats Belgium

Randal Kolo Muani’s deflected shot gave France a 1-0 victory over Belgium on Monday, advancing Kylian Mbappe and France to the quarterfinals of the European Championship.

After a pass from Kolo Muani, the ball went over the stranded goalkeeper Koen Casteels after Jan Vertonghen of Belgium deflected it. The goal was scored in the 85th minute.

On Friday, France will face either Slovenia or Portugal in the quarterfinals.

In an uninspired contest where both teams were able to neutralize the other, Mbappe had five shots—reinforced by his mask—but none of them were successful.

Inappropriate gesture accused of offending England’s BellinghamA UEFA investigation is underway on a possible insulting gesture made by England star Jude Bellingham during Sunday’s victory over Slovakia. UEFA has stated that it has designated a disciplinary inspector to investigate “a possible breach of the fundamental principles of good behavior.”

After scoring a goal in stoppage time to tie the game, Bellingham appeared to make a motion at his privates. England went on to win 2-1 in overtime. In the event that UEFA decides to discipline Bellingham, he might miss Saturday’s quarterfinal match against Switzerland.
