France labour past Belgium after scruffy late winner
Substitute Randal Kolo Muani scored with a deflected shot five minutes from time to give France a nervy but deserved 1-0 Euro 2024 last-16 win over a disappointing Belgium. France made most of the running in a cagey game but were reckless with their finishing, until a nice combination of passes, finished off by N'Golo Kante, finally created space for Kolo Muani to bundle his shot in off the leg of Jan Vertonghen. The 2022 World Cup finalists will now meet the winner of Monday's match between Portugal and Slovenia in the quarter-finals in Hamburg on Friday. It was a fittingly scruffy decider for an underwhelming game, but France at least looked like they were trying to win it.
