Work done in France. One of the favourites at the start of the tournament, but full of doubts as the competition progresses. She will play on Friday 5 July at 21:00, against the winner of the match between Portugal and Slovenia, the quarter-finals.
The first half was one of respect between both teams, respect or even fear of making mistakes. Neither Belgium nor France had any chances during the first half of the match. Only shots from outside the penalty area Aurelien Tchouaméni have disturbed the framework defended by Castiles.
The second half started off more lively, although only on the part of the French. Belgium was forced to close in due to the pressure of the French team and it was not until the 70th minute that they woke up in attack. Then it became a race for a few minutes. Until the 85th minute when Muani City has received inside the area and his shot has been deflected by Jan Vertonghen with such bad luck that it ended up in the back of the net.
Belgium tried to come back but when you have gone 30 minutes without causing any attacking danger… Doing so in the last five minutes becomes almost impossible. They did not even have a single chance to threaten the French goalkeeper and the match ended even in their own half. Belgium will return home early once again and confirm that their best generation of footballers will not win an international title.
