Relief for France from the own goal

"It was beautiful," was Deschamps' response. The only goal of the match was an own goal. This was the ninth suicide goal of the tournament. This match was between two neighbours. No. 2 and 3 in the FIFA rankings. However, there was nothing like that in the game, as expected.

Even the type of goal that was decisive has made the fun worse. In the 85th minute, Randal Kolo Mueni, who came on as a substitute player in the second half, turned into a goal after hitting Yann Vertoghan. Mueni himself said after the game, "I was lucky." I tried to block my shot, but the ball took the direction of the post. We are all very happy and proud of the performance.'

Perhaps it should have been his goal, but UEFA thought otherwise. This time the story of the whole tournament is the suicide goal. This is the second own goal gift for France in the tournament. A goal scored by Kylian Mbappe was also made possible by a penalty. What this means is that France has not been able to score any goal from the "open place" in this tournament. Deschamps says about this, "This goal was enough for our victory. We are capable of scoring.'

Mbappe, who was playing with a mask after suffering a facial injury in the match against Austria, scored five attacks. France had a total of 20 ​​attacks. None of them were in the direction of the post. Belgium did their best to stop Mbappe. Kevin de Bruyna was among those who took responsibility for it. He played the role of a dropping midfielder. Now this team will return home disappointed, the competition did not turn out well for the team.

Along with this, there is another stain on the performance of the Belgian golden generation of players. The Belgian fans couldn't be happier. In the match against Utren, the same supporters protested their team's performance. On the other hand, Mbappe will play his first quarter-final in the Euro, because earlier in the Euro, France was stopped by Switzerland in the last 16.
