France beat Portugal on penalties after a goalless draw to set up a semi-final with Spain at the ongoing Euro 2024 soccer tournament.
Defender Theo Hernández struck the winning penalty in a 5-3 shootout win against Portugal to reach the semifinals after João Félix missed for Portugal after the match ended 0-0 at extra time.
Both teams missed a string of chances in 120 minutes of open play at the Volksparkstadion, the best chance falling to Cristiano Ronaldo in the first period of extra-time when he skied over from close range.
France’s Kylian Mbappé looked uncomfortable in a mask he was wearing for a broken nose and was substituted during extra-time.
France will play Spain in Munich on Tuesday for a chance to reach the July 14 final of the continental showpiece.
