With an own goal created by substitute Muani, France defeated Belgium 1-0 to win this much-talked-about strong dialogue and advance to the quarterfinals of the European Championship. In the 1/4 finals, the French team will meet Portugal led by Cristiano Ronaldo in a narrow way and continue to perform a strong dialogue!
In the group stage, three games, one win and two draws, missing out on the top spot of the group, the French team was forced to come to the top half of the zone, which is full of giants. As a result, Belgium was not willing to be lonely, and in the case of winning to ensure the first place in the group, it took the initiative to achieve a draw in the final round of the group stage, got the opportunity to face the French team, and also created the only strong dialogue in the 1/8 finals of the European Cup. FIFA rankings, France is second and Belgium is third.
It's a real power-to-power conversation, with the two teams evenly matched overall, but France with Mbappe are the favourites as they are the runners-up at the 2022 World Cup, while Belgium feel like they can't hold up to the wall. Although in the Belgian team, there are also strong stars such as De Bruyne, Lukaku, and Doku, but they have never been able to play well.
After the opening of the game, the situation on the field was almost completely one-sided, and Belgium was at an absolute disadvantage in a high-profile strong dialogue. In the whole game, the French team sent 19 shots on goal, Belgium only had 5 shots on goal, 55-45% possession, 5 to 2 corner kicks, Belgium was almost all at the bottom.
The winning goal of the game came in the 85th minute, when France continued to pass the ball outside the Belgian penalty area to organize an attack, and substitute Muani turned and shot into the net on the back line of Vertonghen's back line in the penalty area, helping France beat Belgium 1-0 and successfully advanced to the quarterfinals of the European Championship. After the game, the European Cup officially confirmed that it was an own goal.
Belgium performed poorly, and the responsibility for France's goal of only one goal in the whole game was on themselves, and the biggest regret came from Mbappe. As the No. 1 star in world football, Mbappe had 5 shots on goal and 0 shots on target, and only scored one penalty in his European Championship career.
