Although there are many stars, but it was not until the 85th minute of the game that the only goal of the game appeared, when Muani shot in the penalty area, the ball hit Vertonghen and bounced into the net, with this own goal, the French team beat the Belgian team and advanced to the top 8, after winning, Mbappe and others looked up to the sky and roared, very happy to laugh, no matter what, promotion is always good, the game is ugly or not, no one seems to care.
Portugal 3-0 Slovenia
Portugal vs. Slovenia, this game is different from what people imagined, the outside world once thought that this was a matchup without suspense, but it turned out that Portugal is definitely not a top team, and Slovenia is not a rookie, the two sides are almost equal.
The game went to extra time, Portugal's chance appeared in the 105th minute, when Jota was brought down in the penalty area, and the referee gave a penalty, but unfortunately, Portugal's top scorer Ronaldo's penalty was saved by Oblak, which made the Portuguese core shed sad tears, but the two had a second duel in the next penalty shootout, this time, it was Ronaldo who won.
After 120 minutes of play, the two sides entered the penalty shootout, and it was very amazing that the goalkeeper Costa of the Portuguese team actually saved the opponent's first three penalties, and Ronaldo, B Fei and Silva, who represented the Portuguese team, all scored penalties, so that the Portuguese team was very dramatic, eliminated the opponent with a score of 3-0 and advanced to the top 8.
