The main time of the match ended 3: 3 (0: 1), and during extra time the teams failed to score and had to overcome 11m penalties: here Kylian Mbappé made a mistake and Switzerland was plunged into euphoria.
Switzerland will face Spain in the quarterfinals.
The defenders were clearly outwitted by Haris Seferovičius after 15 minutes.
At the beginning of the second half, the Frenchman could have been sent to the fall: Benjamin Pavard knocked down Steven Zuber, who burst into the area, and the referee, with the help of the VAR, imposed an 11-meter penalty. Ricardo Rodriguezas came close to extending the visitors’ lead when he found himself completely unmarked in front of goal after a pass through the middle, but he lifted the ball over Hugo Llorisas and was a little too high and hit the crossbar.
After this episode, everything turned upside down – in just two minutes – 57 and 59 – Karim Benzema scored two goals and led France 2: 1.
In the 74th minute, Paul Pogba could have increased the lead, but his powerful free kick went over the crossbar.
But Switzerland did not give up – 81 min. Great goal by Mbabu after receiving a great pass from the right wing, he drops the ball into the area and in split seconds puts the ball out of the reach of Haris Seferovičius.
After a few moments, the Swiss seemed to be working on a miracle: they scored a goal but the referee scored a sideline.
It didn’t end there and Switzerland finally reached their goal: in the 90th minute Mario Gavranovičius fooled P. Kimpembe and disarmed H. Loris with a great shot to the corner of the goal and sent the teams into extra time.
This year, nobody could show an advantage and the team was on the verge of exceeding 11 meters from a penalty.
The Swiss made the first five shots, and Kylian Mbappé stumbled on the edge: his shot was blocked by the Swiss goalkeeper and they triumphed.
