Match overview
Switzerland overturned a two-goal deficit and triumphed in a dramatic shoot-out after Mbappé’s decisive miss. Seferović’s brace and Gavranović’s stoppage-time leveller cancelled out Benzema’s double and Pogba’s screamer, before Yann Sommer’s penalty save booked the Nati’s first quarter-final since 1954.
Trivia
France lost a shoot-out at the Euros for the first time, while Switzerland snapped a 67-year wait to reach the last eight of a major finals. Sommer’s stop marked the first time the world champions had failed with their final penalty since Zidane in 2006.
