France advances to quarter-finals with last-gasp goal against Belgium

France beat Belgium 1-0 in the quarter-finals of Euro 2012 on Saturday.

France, which controlled the game in both the first and second half, took the lead after Mouani came on as a substitute in the second half. He replaced Marcus Thuram in the 62nd minute and scored in the 85th minute.

Muani sent the ball into the far corner of the penalty area, but it hit the foot of Belgian defender Wetongan.

Despite having the most shots on target so far in this World Cup, Belgium had few chances in this goalless match. France, by contrast, scored more goals, but few of them hit the goal. Belgium put the first goal into the net in the 23rd minute of the first half.

But De Bruyne’s free kick outside the penalty area was barely saved by the goalkeeper. This was a free kick for Griezmann’s foul on Doku. The referee also showed him a yellow card for the foul.

In the 33rd minute, Kunde made a cross and Marcus Thuram headed the ball wide. Three minutes later, defender Theo Hernandez passed the ball to the goalkeeper. The ball entered the goal area, but the goalkeeper caught it. In the 39th minute, Chamani’s powerful shot from outside the D area went wide.

Chamani sent the ball many times, but none of them hit the goal. In extra time, Mbappe’s low shot from the edge of the penalty area missed the post.

In the 3rd minute of the second half, Kante’s low shot from the edge of the penalty area went around the Belgian defender but went wide of the post.

In the 5th minute of the second half, Kunde’s ball went wide of the post. Three minutes later, Mbappe’s low shot from the edge of the penalty area went wide.

Defender Theo Hernandez blocked Belgium’s best chance of the half. In the 60th minute, De Bruyne sent the ball into the penalty area and Carrasco was sent off by Theo Hernandez.

Lukaku’s only shot came in the 70th minute when he was passed out by the goalkeeper. Lukaku’s low shot from the right side of the goal area was Belgium’s best shot.

France’s best chance in the first half came from Saliba in the 73rd minute. Doku’s powerful left-foot shot from the edge of the penalty area went wide. In the 78th minute, Mbappe’s powerful shot from the edge of the penalty area went wide of the post. In the 82nd minute, De Bruyne’s low shot was saved by the goalkeeper.

France will face either Portugal or Slovenia in the quarter-finals.
