Portugal vs France UEFA Euro 2024 Quarter-Final Live Updates | France are in semi-finals via 3-5 win in penalties

Hello and Welcome to SportzPoint for another UEFA Euro 2024 Live. The Quarter-Final match between Portugal and France will kick off at 12.30 am IST. Stay tuned for all the live updates. We will see World Cup Champion Kylian Mbappe representing his nation France against his idol, the Eternally Charismatic Cristiano Ronaldo's Portugal in Hamburg.

France and Portugal both have disappointed their fans with lackluster football. France have failed to score a single goal from open play until now in this edition of the Euros. Somehow, they are still in the Quarter-Finals. France beat Belgium by 1-0 in the Round of 16 and that goal too came off an Belgium player.

On the other side, Portugal haven't played well except the game against Turkey. They struggled and ultimately lost their last group-stage match against Georgia but somehow managed to win the penalty shoot-out against a brave Slovenia side in the Round of 16 clash.

Is it the end for Pepe?

 
The 41-year old defender was one of the best player for Portugal and has played his last Euro match of his career.

Not a stat to look at for Ronaldo
Most shots taken at a single European Championship tournament without scoring since 1980:

◎ 24 - Deco (2004)
◉ 23 - Cristiano Ronaldo (2024)
◎ 23 - Fernando Hierro (1996)
◎ 21 - Kevin De Bruyne (2016)
◎ 21 - Dani Olmo (2020)

This is NOT how it was supposed to end. 😔… pic.twitter.com/to64RF4oAA

France are in the semis!
It was by no means a perfect game for both teams. France is yet to score from an open play in the tournament and they are yet in the final four. Even without Kylian Mbappe taking the penalty, they won the penalty by 5-3. Top-notch penalties from both sides except for Joao Felic who hit the post.

75' | Double change from Portugal
Semedo and Conceicao come in for Cancelo and Bruno.



Jul 06, 2024 01:58 IST
70' | Chance for Camavinga
He has to be on target from this close range. Dembele, who just came off from the bench, is in action already. It was Demeble's cut back that gave Camavinga the chance to go for the goal. 



Jul 06, 2024 01:54 IST
67' | Change for France

Jul 06, 2024 01:51 IST
63' | Another save by Maignan
Another huge save by the French goalkeeper. Vitinhs with the shot this. Maignan had to be quick to react to save this. Ronaldo went for a back heel after that, but the ball went for a corner. Good spell of play for Portugal.



Jul 06, 2024 01:48 IST
61' | Maignan makes a good save

 
Maignan makes a great save to deny Bruno. Bruno, who had received the ball from Cancelo on the right, entered the box and went for the far post with his right foot. Maignan had to dive to his left to make the save. 



Jul 06, 2024 01:47 IST
59' | Camavinga with a great recovery interception
Leao after a great run was looking to enter the box from the left and get a cross in for Ronaldo in the middle. However, Camavinga, who was nearly beaten by the speed of Leao, came from behind and deflected the ball for a corner.



Jul 06, 2024 01:42 IST
55' | Mbappe is injured
Bernardo Silva's header hits Mbappe straight on to his face. He lost his face mask and looks in pain. 



Jul 06, 2024 01:39 IST
52' | Hernandez with the cross
France on the move get Herandez on the left and his cross for Kolo Muani is a tad long for previous game's hero.



Jul 06, 2024 01:37 IST
Saliba has been great
Just a reminder that Didier Deschamps said this about William Saliba in March:

"He also does things that I don't like so much. For France, he has limited game time, but when he plays, that hasn't necessarily gone well."

He's since played every minute of #EURO2024, conceding 0… pic.twitter.com/Vy9S9qEg3f

The second half starts
No changes from either side.



Jul 06, 2024 01:17 IST
Half-time | Portugal 0-0 France
The first half ends goalless with both France being a bit more dominant than Portugal and with some better direct chances. A lot to come in the second half as both teams are yet to play at their best.

42' | Bruno taking the free-kick
Should Bruno take the free-kick for Portugal? That was the question in the last game. So far, Bruno Fernandes has taken three free-kicks and he has not been on the target any of those times.



Jul 06, 2024 01:12 IST
40' | Portugal have done well defensively

 
Every time Mbappe and company have a ball near the penalty box, Portugal have managed to outnumber them with nearly six personnel in and around the box. 



Jul 06, 2024 01:07 IST
No impact from Ronaldo yet




Jul 06, 2024 01:04 IST
Only seven touches for Ronaldo so far
After 30 minutes, no player on the pitch had fewer touches than Cristiano Ronaldo.
