Before this game, Switzerland has never progressed to the last 8 of the Euro tournaments after entering 5-times starting from 1996.


While on the other side, France was 'eliminated' for the first time in the last-16.


In the quarterfinals, Switzerland will face Spain, who in their last-16 has defeated Croatia 5-3 after extra time.


The Switzerland coach, Vladimir Petkovic, said he felt very emotional after the game. " Well, I was not able to speak toward the end of the match ... I was done I lost my voice. The team over 120 minutes has done a fantastic job. We manage our game plan, we had enough fuel in the tank, even more than France, and we show that over 120 minutes." Vladimir said.


The goals of Switzerland were scored' by Seferovic (who had a brace) and Gavranovic, who equalled 3-2 in 90 minutes to take a game into extra time.


In France, Karim Benzema has converted a brace that was' added up by Paul Pogba, with a brilliant kick unleashed from outside the box.


France coach, Didier Deschamps, said he is not angry with Kearyn Mbappe, who did not show his best performance against Switzerland. "Well, Kearyn, if he didn't score a goal, he was decisive in many actions that we have. No one is angry with him, I talked with our players, and we know the strength of this squad. We had a lot of magnificent moments today. It hurt but, we have to accept it." Didier said.
