DUESSELDORF: France got the better of Belgium again to book their quarter-final place at the European Championship – but it was a victory without much conviction.
Randal Kolo Muani’s deflected effort late in the game keeps the pre-tournament favourites on course, but a major improvement is needed in front of goal if they are to clear the next hurdle against Portugal.
