Europeans, red spot for France: Switzerland goes to the quarterfinals

by admin
Rabiot and Giroud disappointed at the end of the game

The world champions eliminated by the elevetics after a crazy match: 3-3 in regulation time, then on penalties the error of the champion Mbappe was fatal

BUCHAREST. Surprise to the Europeans. France world champion and great favorite of the European Championship comes out in the round of 16 at the end of a crazy match resolved in favor of Switzerland only by penalties. The “Blues” were betrayed in the decisive shot by Mbappe, after regular and extra time ended at 3-3. Like the eighth of the afternoon between Spain and Croatia in the 90th minute, after the Croatians had recovered the double disadvantage. Magic was also successful for the Swiss, who first took the lead in Bucharest playing opponents, therefore guilty of wasting a penalty with Rodriguez (but very good Lloris) and hit in quick succession by Benzema and Pogba in the second half.

Finished 3-1 for the Blues, a quarter from the end? No, because Seferovic, already author of the 1-0, finds the brace in the 36th minute and Gavranovic reopens the qualification in the 90th minute. We go to extra time. No other goals arrive and from the spot Mbappe gets the fifth shot saved by Sommer. So in St. Petersburg, against Spain, who prevailed 5-3 in extra time, goes to Switzerland, which has been preferred as a team.

Today June 29 closes the phase of the second round, the last quarter remains to be defined after Italy-Belgium, Spain-Switzerland and Denmark-Czech Republic. On the field at 6 pm Germany and England and at 9 pm Sweden and Croatia.
