France secured a spot in the Euro 2024 quarter-finals after defeating Belgium 1-0. Substitute Randal Kolo Muani scored in the 85th minute, assisted by N'Golo Kante, deflecting off Jan Vertonghen's leg. Despite dominating possession and creating chances, France struggled to convert opportunities against a resilient Belgian defense. Goalkeeper Koen Casteels made crucial saves, denying Marcus Thuram and Kylian Mbappe. Belgium, ranked third globally, posed threats through Romelu Lukaku and Kevin De Bruyne but failed to score. France now awaits the winner of Portugal vs Slovenia for their quarter-final clash in Hamburg on Friday.
