Barcelona star Jules Kounde and France are still alive in Euro 2024 and have moved on to the quarter-finals thanks to a hard-fought 1-0 win over Belgium in Monday’s Round of 16 clash in Düsseldorf. A much-hyped knockout clash failed to deliver any entertainment, and Jan Vertonghen’s late own goal was enough to separate the two sides as France once again have found a way to win despite not playing well in this tournament.
VICTOOOOOIRE !!!

1-0 | #FRABEL | #FiersdetreBleus pic.twitter.com/8WgxbZONaJ— Equipe de France u2b50u2b50 (@equipedefrance) July 1, 2024There was a whole lot of nothing happening for most of the evening in Düsseldorf as Belgium decided to defend in a low block and gave the ball to a French side that has struggled to create chances all tournament, and that continued to be the case in the first half.
