Portugal v France LIVE: Scores and latest goals updates from the crucial Euro 2024 quarter-final

Leao gets the better of Thuram on the left, but it comes to nothing.

France try to launch a counter-attack but Joao Palhinha, who is reportedly close to a move to Bayern, is there to intercept the ball.

France seem to be the better of the two teams so far, but there are no significant chances yet.

France have the most possession in the beginning and they try to reach the penalty area first, but Kolo Muani is clumsy with the ball in the middle.

KICKOFF! And we’ve started in Hamburg.

Ronaldo and Mbappe exchange pennants and toss the coin. Mbappe tries to hide his excitement, and he does a pretty good job.

Moments of kick-off now.

The teams have left the tunnel and the national anthems are being played in Hamburg.

Just a few minutes left until the kick-off of the second quarter-final of the 2024 European Championship.

Below you can see the reactions to the first quarter-final, in which the home team was eliminated en masse.

The Selecao began the tournament in unconvincing fashion, beating the Czech Republic 2-1 in their opening match. They then convincingly defeated Turkey in their second match, before losing 2-0 to Georgia in their final match, having already qualified.

The last quarter-final was also a tense affair at times, with the 0-0 draw eventually saved by Diogo Costa, who saved three consecutive penalties to send his team into the last eight.

Like Portugal, France are also unconvincing at times. They beat Austria 1-0 thanks to an own goal, only to draw 0-0 with the Netherlands when they could have lost just as well.

In their final group match they drew 1-1 with Poland, thanks to a penalty from Mbappé, but an own goal from Jan Vertonghen saw them reach the last eight via Belgium.
