France Edge Into Euro 2024 Semis in Penalty Shootout

France advanced to the semifinals of Euro 2024 after defeating Portugal 5-3 on penalty kicks on Sunday. The game finished 0-0 after extra time, with France winning the shootout 5-3.

Kylian Mbappé scored the winning penalty for France, sending goalkeeper Diogo Costa the wrong way. Cristiano Ronaldo missed Portugal's second penalty, hitting the post.

It was a disappointing end for Portugal, who had been the better team for much of the game. They had more chances than France and more possession, but they could not find a goal.

France will now face either Italy or Spain in the semifinals. The semi-finals will be played on Tuesday and Wednesday.
