The teams could only manage one shot on target in the first half, a hopeful attempt by Antoine Griezmann from the tightest of angles, which stung the hands of goalkeeper Rui Patricio. Cristiano Ronaldo came closest to scoring when he fired a left-footed strike at goal in added time, but his deflected shot was well saved by France custodian Hugo Lloris.

In another clash, England came from behind to defeat Belgium 2-1, thanks to a Marcus Rashford penalty and a deflected strike from Mason Mount.
