France beat Portugal in a penalty shootout to reach the semi-finals of Euro 2024 after a tense showdown in Hamburg.
Theo Hernandez scored the winning penalty after substitute Joao Felix hit the outside of the post with his effort, the only miss.
Kylian Mbappe had to be substituted in extra time after an earlier whack to his face, covered with a mask due to a broken nose, so he was unable to take part in the shootout.
Before the match, all eyes had been on a showdown between Mbappe and Cristiano Ronaldo but both failed to have an impact, though the Portugal captain did put away his spot-kick.
It means France will now face Spain in the semi-finals in Munich on Tuesday (19:00 GMT kick-off).
