Own goals and penalties
France without a “real” goal in the quarter-finals
Unbelievable, but true: France advanced to the quarter-finals against Belgium on Monday. But they did so without scoring a single goal from play at this European Championship.
In the group game against Austria, it was Max Wöber who scored an own goal to give the French a 1:0 victory. This was followed by a draw against the Netherlands and finally a 1-1 draw against Poland, in which Kylian Mbappe scored a penalty.
And even in the round of 16, the star-studded runners-up failed to score from play. It took another own goal. This time it was Jan Vertonghen who deflected a shot from N'Golo Kante to win the game.
Incidentally, at 37 years and 68 days, Vertonghen is the oldest player ever to score an own goal at a EURO.
