In the early morning of July 2, Beijing time, the 2024 Euro Cup 1/8 finals witnessed a thrilling matchup, the French national men's football team defeated the Belgian national men's football team 1:0 and successfully advanced to the top 8, which is also the first time in 8 years that the French men's football team once again stood on the stage of the top 8.
However, it is embarrassing that in this European Cup, the French men's football team did not score a single goal in the first four games.
In this matchup, the French men's football team was met with stubborn resistance from the Belgian men's football team. In the first half, the Belgian men's football team adopted an iron bucket strategy, although there was only one shot on goal, but the French men's football team had only one shot on target from 9 shots.
In the second half, although neither side was able to break the deadlock, a key substitution in the 62nd minute of the French men's football team changed the course of the game. Rondar Kolo Muani, who replaced Marcus Thuram, came on and put in an excellent performance and set up an own goal from Jan Vertonghen in the 85th minute to help the French men's team win the game.
Looking back at this European Championship, the performance of the French men's football team can be described as a twist and turn, with two games drawn with their opponents and the other two games won by own goals from their opponents, which undoubtedly disappointed the fans.
According to the post-match statistics, the French men's football team had only two shots on target from 19 shots in this campaign, while the Belgian men's football team had two shots on target from five shots. A total of 4 shots on target were received by both sides.
Although the match was not as exciting as expected, the French men's football team managed to win with a tough will and a brilliant play by Rondar Kolo Muani.
Now, the French men's football team has returned to the top 8 of the European Championship, while the Belgian men's football team has regrettably bid farewell to this European Cup, and the farewell of Kevin De Bruyne, Jan Vertonghen and other "golden generation" players has also added a bit of sadness to this game. But in any case, this game will be a wonderful page in the history of the European Championship.
