France are through to the quarter-finals of Euro 2024 after a 1-0 win against Belgium.

A late own goal from Jan Vertonghen proved to be the winner in Dusseldorf.

With just five minutes left, substitute Randal Kolo Muani picked up a ball from N'Golo Kante and fired a shot that deflected off Jan Vertonghen and past keeper Koen Casteels.

Two-time winners France will meet the winner of Monday's other match between Portugal and Slovenia in the quarter-finals in Hamburg on Friday.
