Euro 2020: Switzerland Knock Out World Champions France
Switzerland's fairy-tale run at the UEFA Euro 2020 continues
Haris Seferovic's first-half goal proved to be the difference as Switzerland stunned world champions France 1-0 to reach the quarter-finals of Euro 2020.
The Swiss, who had already shocked Italy in their opening group game, produced another disciplined and determined performance to upset the pre-tournament favourites in Bucharest. Didier Deschamps' side dominated possession but struggled to create clear-cut chances, while Switzerland were clinical in front of goal, with Seferovic taking his tally at the tournament to three.
The result is a major upset and will send shockwaves through the tournament. Switzerland will now face Spain in the quarter-finals, while France will have to regroup and pick themselves up for their World Cup qualifying campaign.
