Portugal 0-0 France (aet; 3-5 on pens): Euro 2024 quarter-final – as it happened

11.09pm BST

Nick Ames was in Hamburg, and his report is in. Here it is! Congratulations to France, commiserations to Portugal, and thanks for reading this MBM. Nighty night.

10.50pm BST

French fans will be doubly delighted to find out that, when the winning kick went in, Kylian Mbappé sprinted onto the pitch in a good humour. Hopefully that nose will be fine by the time France take on Spain in Munich on Tuesday evening. Didier Deschamps will certainly hope his star striker is fit to play, because France have somehow reached the last four with a tally of three goals in five matches, one of them a penalty, the other two scored by opposing players. Plenty of space for improvement there. Having said that, some fine spot kicks dispatched in the shootout tonight!

RESULT: Portugal 0-0 France (aet; France win 5-3 on pens)

A blank look on Ronaldo’s face as the reality of the situation sinks in. That might be the end of the great man’s European Championship story, one that stretches back to 2004. Antoine Griezmann comes over to offer his commiserations, and Ronaldo smiles wryly. The rest of the French team meanwhile get down to some serious celebration, sprinting this way and that, leaping about in joy.

PENALTIES: Portugal 3-5 France. Hernández whips into the top-left corner, and France are through to the semi-finals!

Updated at 11.11pm BST

PENALTIES: Portugal 3-4 France. Nuno Mendes has to score … and he does, hitting the top-right corner. Postage-stamp stuff. What confidence with his back to the wall!

10.41pm BST

PENALTIES: Portugal 2-4 France. Barcola, who came on for Mbappé, fizzes his kick into the left-hand side of the net, the keeper going the wrong way. France on the verge of the semis! Portugal on the brink.

10.40pm BST

PENALTIES: Portugal 2-3 France. João Félix stutters … then smacks his penalty off the base of the left-hand post. Maignan might have got to that anyway. Advantage France!

Updated at 11.36pm BST

10.39pm BST

PENALTIES: Portugal 2-3 France. Koundé goes top left. As good as Silva’s seconds before! What nerve that took.

10.38pm BST

Updated at 10.41pm BST

10.37pm BST

PENALTIES: Portugal 1-2 France. Fofana next for France. Straight down the middle. Diogo Costa no longer there. Super cool.

10.36pm BST

PENALTIES: Portugal 1-1 France. Ronaldo up. He mutters to himself. A deep breath. A stutter. Then a whip into the bottom left. Maignan went the correct way, but couldn’t reach it. Ronaldo flexes his muscles in celebration. That took nerve.

Updated at 10.42pm BST

10.35pm BST

PENALTIES: Portugal 0-1 France. Dembélé rolls the first kick into the right-hand side of the net. Diogo Costa sent the wrong way.

Updated at 10.38pm BST

10.35pm BST

Ronaldo wins the coin toss, but allows France to go first. These kicks are happening in front of Portugal’s fans. Dembélé up first.

10.33pm BST

Portugal may feel more confident going into this shootout. They’re coming off the back of that efficient 3-0 shootout win over Slovenia … while France have lost their last three shootouts, against Italy and Argentina in the 2006 and 2022 World Cup finals, and Switzerland in the last Euros.

10.31pm BST

EXTRA TIME, FULL TIME: Portugal 0-0 France

Thuram tries to bustle clear down the middle on the counter-counter, but is crowded out. Penalties it is, then!

10.31pm BST

ET 30 min: Some end-to-end fun right at the end. Hernández drives down the left and rolls across the edge of the box for Fofana, who can’t shuttle across to Dembélé, free on the right. Then Prtugal counter, Bernardo Silva in acres down the right. He rolls across for Nuno Mendes, who sends a daisycutter from the edge of the box straight at Maignan! A huge chance to win it!

Updated at 10.37pm BST

10.28pm BST

ET 29 min: Vitinha is replaced by Matheus Nunes.

10.27pm BST

ET 28 min: Dembélé skedaddles down the right at warp speed, winning a corner. He takes it himself. Some head tennis. Ronaldo eventually clears and the whistle goes, Tchouameni having clumsily clanked into an opponent.

10.26pm BST

ET 27 min: Vitinha swings the corner in from the right. It’s long. Ronaldo attempts to connect with an overhead kick, only to slip and miss. He’s been shoving Upamecano and pulling his shirt, and the whistle goes for a free kick.

Updated at 10.35pm BST

10.25pm BST

ET 26 min: Kanté’s careless pass in midfield is snatched up by Conceição, who dribbles down the right and wins a corner. Vitinha to take.

10.23pm BST

ET 24 min: Rúben Neves tries to release Nélson Semedo down the right but his pass is a clunker. Goal kick. France go up the other end, Barcola waltzing past three challenges down the left before shanking a dismal effort miles wide left of the target from six yards.

10.21pm BST

ET 22 min: Dembélé dribbles in from the right, past a couple of red shirts, and makes enough space by the edge of the D to shoot. But he leans back and larrups over.

10.20pm BST

ET 20 min: Here’s Ronaldo doing something. A run down the right. He can’t get clear of Hernández, who comes across to poke out for a corner. Portugal don’t get to take the set piece, though, because it turns out Ronaldo had gone way too early and was offside.

10.19pm BST

ET 19 min: Portugal’s fans are making all the noise. In fact they’ve kept it going all evening. Impressive stuff, given their team aren’t giving them too much to work with. “How is Jota not getting on the pitch?” asks Graham Wynne. “He came on and won a penalty last time and looked sharp. It makes no sense at all. While Ronaldo stays on doing nothing all game. Madness.”

10.17pm BST

ET 18 min: Conceição drives down the right and crosses long for João Félix, who heads into the side netting from six yards. It was a tight angle, to be fair. “Kanté and Pepe have probably been the players of the match, but their colleagues at the back have also been excellent,” argues Kári Tulinius. “Is there anything as dispiriting in football than two teams putting in admirable defensive efforts? Sheesh.”

Updated at 10.22pm BST

10.15pm BST

ET 16 min: Nuno Mendes briefly threatens to steam clear down the left but Koundé hooks clear just in time.

10.14pm BST

France get extra time underway again. Kylian Mbappé’s nose is bothering him, and he hasn’t been able to continue. He sits on the bench pressing his de-masked face into an ice pack, and Bradley Barcola takes his place. Meanwhile João Félix has replaced Rafael Leão.

Updated at 10.27pm BST

10.11pm BST

EXTRA TIME, HALF TIME: Portugal 0-0 France

What either team would give for an own goal or penalty.

10.09pm BST

ET 15 min: Conceição dribbles down the right and, using Hernández as a shield, aims a curler towards the top left. High and wide.

10.07pm BST

ET 13 min: A right-wing cross drops to Rafael Leão on the penalty spot. He aims a shot towards the right-hand side of the France net, but Upamecano sticks out a leg to block.

10.06pm BST

ET 11 min: Both teams sit in, going nowhere. If this was a frame of snooker there’d be a re-rack.

10.03pm BST

ET 9 min: Portugal perambulate. Players getting tired.

10.03pm BST

ET 7 min: Dembélé sits Pepe down, 30 yards from goal, then feeds Mbappé in acres of space to his left. Mbappé cuts infield and lines up a shot, which he eventually takes, only for it to be blocked by … Pepe, who had sprung back up to make a last-ditch intervention! “It’s boiling hot in my part of California,” begins Peter Oh, “with the mercury yet to hit today’s high of 110F/43C. Still, probably not as hot as the joints of Pepe’s knees. I’ve always loved to hate him, but strangely find myself rooting for him in his feisty efforts to desperately keep up with the young ‘uns.”

Updated at 10.13pm BST

10.00pm BST

ET 5 min: … but otherwise, there’s not too much going on at the Volksparkstadion. “Nothing here that the introduction of Count Binface wouldn’t improve,” notes Charles Antaki.

9.59pm BST

ET 3 min: Conceição skins Hernández down the right and pulls back from the byline. He finds Ronaldo, eight yards out. Ronaldo has to score, but flips a wild first-time shot high and wide right. He had to score. Hey, spurning a gilt-edged chance to take the lead in extra-time didn’t do Ronaldo any harm in the long run against Slovenia, so let’s see how this pans out.

Updated at 10.10pm BST

9.56pm BST

ET 2 min: Mbappé probes down the left but can’t get past Nélson Semedo. “Surely if there’s ever one team you want to concede free kicks to outside the box, it’s Portugal,” suggests Paul F. “Natural point to start a counter attack.”

9.54pm BST

France get the first period of extra time underway. Youssouf Fofana has replaced Eduardo Camavinga.

9.51pm BST

FULL TIME: Portugal 0-0 France

The whistle goes. These countries have now met four times in the knockout stage of a Euros, and every time the match has gone to extra time. (Their only other meeting in the finals, in the groups in Euro 2020, was a draw, naturally.)

9.50pm BST

90 min +3: Dembélé zips down the right and reaches the edge of the box. He tees up Mbappé, who makes another attempt to send a curler into the top right. There’s no oomph in it, and it’s an easy claim for Diogo Costa.

9.48pm BST

90 min +2: Rúben Neves comes on for João Palhinha.

9.48pm BST

90 min +1: Pepe somehow keeps up with Thuram in a race down the right. A last-ditch tackle leads to a corner. Mbappé tries to curl into the top right but gets it all wrong.

Updated at 10.15pm BST

9.47pm BST

90 min: Kanté has another effort from long range easily saved by Diogo Costa. Portugal go up the other end, the ball dropping to Bernardo Silva just inside the box. He volleys. Saliba blocks. There will be three additional minutes.

9.45pm BST

89 min: Pepe hoicks long. Ronaldo is caught offside. “At this point Ronaldo will score only if a ball hits him by accident and slowly drops over the line,” writes João André. “On which goal is anyone’s guess.”

9.44pm BST

88 min: Kanté has a dig from distance. Easy for Diogo Costa. “This is not the intensity of football I require to keep me going the evening after an election night,” emails Adam Kent Ibanez, singing to the choir. Andy Gordon adds: “The inability of either team to find the net might mean consecutive all-nighters.”

9.42pm BST

86 min: Vitinha has a shot deflected wide right of goal. Before the resulting corner can be taken, Marcus Thuram replaces Randal Kolo Muani. Then Vitinha takes his corner, and that’s no good either.

9.41pm BST

85 min: Conceição needs a bit of treatment. But he’s OK to continue. Then Ronaldo bashes the free kick witlessly into the wall. What a waste.

Updated at 10.01pm BST

9.41pm BST

83 min: Bernardo Silva tiptoes down the right touchline only to be skittled by Mbappé. The referee waves play on. Portugal aren’t happy, but come again through Conceição down the same flank. Saliba comes across and brings him down on the edge of the box, flapping a hand in the youngster’s face for good measure. Into the book he goes.

9.38pm BST

81 min: Portugal knock the ball around in a not particularly adventurous fashion. This match is moving at stately pace towards extra time.

9.36pm BST

79 min: Maignan punches clear and France look to counter. Mbappé makes to sprint down the right only to be stopped by João Palhinha’s block tackle. It looks a good challenge, but referee Michael Oliver doesn’t think so, and Palhinha is awarded a yellow card that will keep him out of the semi-final should Portugal get there.

Updated at 10.04pm BST

9.35pm BST

78 min: The subs Conceição and Nélson Semedo combine down the right to win a corner for Portugal. Bernardo Silva to take.

9.33pm BST

77 min: The pace drops. Tension rising.

9.31pm BST

75 min: Portugal make a double change, replacing Bruno Fernandes and João Cancelo with Francisco Conceição and Nélson Semedo.

9.30pm BST

74 min: Dembélé swans in from the right and curls a superb effort towards the top left. Diogo Costa is beaten all ends up, but the ball shaves the outside of the post. That would have been one heck of a strike.

9.29pm BST

72 min: Dembélé looks lively. He tears clear of Rafael Leão and fizzes a low ball into the middle. Pepe hoicks clear. France are beginning to crank up the pressure.

9.27pm BST

70 min: Dembélé makes a nuisance of himself down the right. His low cross is deflected off Pepe’s heel and drops to Camavinga on the right-hand corner of the six-yard box. He’s surely got to score, but drags a pitiful shot across Diogo Costa and wide left. How on earth is this still goalless? Both of these teams appear to have forgotten how to score.

Updated at 9.40pm BST

9.26pm BST

69 min: To be fair, this second half is much better. Both teams have now carved out decent chances; more confident teams would have converted one or two of them.

9.24pm BST

67 min: Nothing comes of the resulting corner. Meanwhile the ineffectual Antoine Griezmann is replaced by Ousmane Dembélé.

9.23pm BST

66 min: Kolo Muani is released into the box down the right by Koundé’s graceful flick. He’s one on one with Diogo Costa, but scuffs the shot, which allows Dias to slide in and block. The ball still nearly loops into the bottom left, but sails inches wide. France should be ahead.

Updated at 9.34pm BST

9.21pm BST

64 min: Thankfully nothing comes of the incorrectly awarded corner, or we’d never hear the end of it.

9.21pm BST

63 min: Rafael Leão burst down the left again and tees up Vitinha, who slams goalwards from close range. Somehow Maignan gets in the way to parry. That’s even better than his save from a couple of minutes ago! Ronaldo attempts to flick the rebound into the bottom-right corner, but the ball clanks off his other leg and out for a … corner?!

Updated at 9.46pm BST

9.19pm BST

62 min: Tchouameni, sashaying in from the left, hits a shot that nearly goes out for a throw on the right. Oh dear. At least he tried.

9.18pm BST

61 min: João Cancelo slips a cute ball down the inside-right channel to release Bruno Fernandes into the box. Fernandes opens his body and sidefoots powerfully towards the bottom-left corner, but Maignan stretches to save wonderfully. The rebound falls to João Cancelo, who attempts a curler towards the top left but gets it all wrong. Goal kick. As close as either team have got.

Updated at 9.51pm BST

9.17pm BST

60 min: Nothing comes of the corner. That was some challenge by Camavinga, who had to time that perfectly.

9.16pm BST

59 min: Portugal get patient again. But then Rafael Leão suddenly turns on the jets. He tears down the left flank, cuts into the box, and prepares to shoot from the corner of the six-yard box before Camavinga sticks a toe in to poke out for a corner. That’s sensational play all round.

Updated at 9.42pm BST

9.14pm BST

57 min: Mbappé is fine to go on. He’s definitely feeling that nose, though. Meanwhile replays show there really wasn’t much contact at all between Griezmann and João Palhinha, the former tripping over his own feet. We all move on.

9.13pm BST

55 min: With Mbappé down, play goes on and Maignan flaps the ball clear. France counter through Griezmann, who appears to be brought down by João Palhinha. But the referee rules no contact. Play then stops so Mbappé can get treatment.

Updated at 9.17pm BST

9.11pm BST

54 min: Ronaldo works his way down the left and wins a corner off Camavinga. He double-claps and hollers a come on to encourage his team-mates into action. Bernardo Silva meets the corner and heads the ball straight into Mbappé’s startled coupon. The striker goes down, stunned, his nose having taken another painful whack.

9.09pm BST

52 min: Kanté slips a pass down the inside-left channel for Hernández, who sends a dangerous low cross through the six-yard box. Kolo Muani can’t reach it to tap home. France are beginning to look a little sharper.

9.07pm BST

51 min: Nuno Mendes chases a pass into the France box from the left. He goes over Upamecano’s leg and wants a penalty, but he’s obviously looking for it, and the referee’s not falling for the dive.

9.06pm BST

50 min: France stroke it around slowly. Then Mbappé suddenly ups the tempo, cutting in from the left and one-twoing with Kanté. He slams a fierce shot towards the bottom left, but it’s also straight at Diogo Costa.

9.05pm BST

48 min: Bernardo Silva loops a cross in from the left. Hernández chests it down calmly for Maignan to collect. Ronaldo gets performatively furious at the low quality of the ball into the box.

9.03pm BST

47 min: No immediate sign of any new proactive attitudes.

9.01pm BST

Portugal get the second half underway. No changes.

9.00pm BST

Is it any surprise that this game has remained goalless? We’re four-and-a-half matches into Euro 2024, and as already mentioned, France have three goals to their name. Two of them have been scored by the opposition, and the other is a penalty. Thing is, Portugal’s record isn’t much better. Their tournament tally is currently five, and two of those are own goals. None of this augurs well, so lump on this game going to extra time and penalties. You can thank me later if this entry tempts the football gods into providing us with a basketball-style second half featuring at least five goals.

8.50pm BST

Half-time entertainment. This time tomorrow in Berlin …

8.47pm BST

HALF TIME: Portugal 0-0 France

After exactly four seconds of additional time, referee Michael Oliver decides enough’s enough and whistles for the break. Time for tweaks and improvements!

8.45pm BST

45 min: Vitinha shovels a pass down the inside-left channel in hope of locating the scampering Bruno Fernandes. But the pass isn’t accurate, and Maignan comes out to claim.

8.44pm BST

44 min: This match is drifting towards the half-time break, during which both managers will hopefully issue some beneficial advice. This hasn’t been great.

8.43pm BST

42 min: …. but though Ronaldo strikes his usual pre-kick pose, it’s Bruno Fernandes who takes the free kick. A surprise effort that curls over the wall and sails wide left.

Updated at 9.28pm BST

8.42pm BST

41 min: … then Vitinha tries to make something happen, gliding in from the left. Kolo Muani takes him down. A free kick 25 yards out, just to the left of centre. Ronaldo’s eyes light up.

8.41pm BST

40 min: The teams take turns to demonstrate their patience.

8.39pm BST

38 min: João Cancelo whistles a low cross through the French six-yard box from the right, but there’s nobody in red to poke home. The goalkeepers aren’t exactly being put through their paces.

8.38pm BST

37 min: Portugal have enjoyed 58 percent of possession so far. They ping it around patiently. Suddenly Vitinha slips a pass down the inside-right channel for Bernardo Silva … but that man Saliba gets involved again, refusing to allow any shooting opportunity to open up. Silva is forced to turn tail. Then he’s dispossessed by Saliba, who lays off to Maignan to bash clear. What fine defending.

8.36pm BST

35 min: Bruno Fernandes goes back to the day job of playmaking, and drills a pass down the left for Ronaldo to chase. But much of the pace has gone now, and Saliba is always going to win the footrace. The French defender intercepts and wanders off elegantly.

8.34pm BST

34 min: France stay patient, and eventually there’s a little bit of space for Camavinga down the right. His low cross finds Griezmann on the edge of the six-yard box, with his back to goal, but he can’t spin in time to get a shot away, because Bruno Fernandes comes across to blooter out for a corner. That’s fine last-ditch defending, and nothing comes of the set piece.

8.33pm BST

33 min: Mbappé probes down the left. But Portugal have a lot of men back. No way through.

8.32pm BST

31 min: For a split second, it looks as though Kolo Muani is going to slalom into the Portugal box down the middle. But Pepe stands his ground, then hooks the ball away from his opponent, a perfectly timed challenge. It had to be, as it was just inside the area.

8.30pm BST

29 min: Leão makes good down the left for the nth time. He reaches the byline and fizzes a low shot-cum-cross that Maignan does extremely well to gather at his near post. It was the sort of ball that could easily have been fumbled into the net.

8.29pm BST

28 min: Leão wins another corner down the left. Another corner that’s wasted. France counter, Mbappé chasing Kanté’s speculative long pass down the right. He shoves Nuno Mendes out of the way and races clear, but he’s miles wide of the goal and there’s nobody in white who’s kept up with play. A promising situation turns to dust.

8.27pm BST

27 min: A reminder that, up to this point, France’s total Euro 2024 haul in four-and-a-quarter matches equals two own goals and a penalty.

8.25pm BST

25 min: Pepe is slightly harshly penalised as Camavinga goes to ground down the France right. Griezmann sends the free kick into a packed box. It’s not all that, and easily cleared. This match hasn’t quite sparked into life yet.

8.24pm BST

24 min: Ronaldo and Hernández contest a ball down the Portugal right, and accidentally clash heads. Thankfully both are fine to continue. “Tell Eric Pederson there are two solutions to the Fox problem: one is the Mute button, the other is TUDN (not for this match, sadly),” writes Joe Pearson. “But he and Aaron Timms are spot on. Fox is horrible.”

8.22pm BST

22 min: Costa is again involved, pushing away Mbappé’s cross-cum-shot from a tight angle on the left. Vitinha completes the job by hoofing clear. That was a fine run by Mbappé, his first major contribution to the match. He had João Cancelo on toast.

Updated at 8.40pm BST

8.21pm BST

20 min: … so having said that, France go up the other end, Hernández cutting in from the left and sending a low swerver goalwards. Diogo Costa, Portugal’s hero against Slovenia, parries clear.

8.20pm BST

19 min: Kolo Muani and Koundé pair up on Rafael Leão as the winger perambulates down the left. But they still can’t stop Leão winning a corner. Koundé heads the set piece clear. It’s been a good few minutes for Portugal.

8.17pm BST

17 min: … but Portugal come again, Bruno Fernandes creaming a low shot that’s deflected wide right for a corner. The whistle goes at the set piece as a result of Ronaldo’s over-exuberant shoving. There goes that pressure!

Updated at 8.21pm BST

8.16pm BST

15 min: Maignan nearly trips over himself while dealing with a simple backpass, and clanks the ball out for a corner. He’s lucky that Bruno Fernandes’s delivery is again poor, and the keeper claims easily to clean up his own mess.

Updated at 8.28pm BST

8.15pm BST

14 min: Then again, the Cruyff Turn didn’t lead to anything either, but some things are more valuable than goals.

Related: World Cup stunning moments: the Cruyff Turn is born in 1974

8.13pm BST

12 min: An outrageous piece of skill out on the left touchline, as Rafael Leão nutmegs Koundé with a back-heel , sending Nuno Mendes into acres of space. Sadly the subsequent cross is a nightmare. Such a shame that didn’t lead to something tangible for Portugal.

8.12pm BST

11 min: … and again he dispatches a poor, flat effort that’s easily cleared. “Thank heavens the game is now underway, and I have 45 minutes of freedom from Fox TV’s mindless contributions to the occasion,” sighs Eric Peterson. “From their pre-game analysis, if you can even call it that, the next couple of hours should simply be Mbappe and Ronaldo playing tennis at Wimbledon, for all we can tell. Apparently, the other 20 players and concepts like strategy and tactics are supposedly beyond the ken of the American audience. So infuriating to once again see Fox (and the equally guilty ESPN) treat its football audience so condescendingly.”

You’ll enjoy this.

8.10pm BST

10 min: Bruno Fernandes takes. His flat delivery isn’t particularly good, but Koundé hacks out for a corner. Fernandes will take this set piece as well …

8.09pm BST

9 min: It’s Arsenal versus Manchester United out on the Portuguese left, and Saliba skittles Bruno Fernandes to the floor. A chance for Portugal to load the box.

8.09pm BST

8 min: Leão sends Nuno Mendes into space on the overlap down the left. Mendes crosses but Koundé clears.

8.06pm BST

6 min: Portugal enjoy a bit of sustained possession for the first time. Both teams putting feelers out, nothing more.

8.05pm BST

4 min: Rafael Leão takes on Upamecano down the left flank. He gets ahead of his man then cuts inside to leave him sprawling. The ball infield is no good, but that’s a positive sign for Portugal. Could Leão have the big defender’s number?

Updated at 8.23pm BST

8.03pm BST

3 min: Bruno Fernandes takes Portugal’s first significant touch, attempting to release Rafael Leão down the left with a long diagonal rake. Upamecano intercepts and France get back to stroking it around again.

8.02pm BST

2 min: France are immediately on the front foot all the early possession. Hernández probes down the left, Kanté down the right. Kolo Muani finds a pocket of space to the right of the box but can’t find anyone with his low pass infield.

8.00pm BST

The coaches Roberto Martinez and Didier Deschamps embrace warmly, the captains Cristiano Ronaldo and Kylian Mbappé exchange pennants, Mbappé pulls on his mask … and France get the ball rolling. Here we go, then! Spain await!

Updated at 8.04pm BST

Both teams, having come this far, are in no mood to make radical changes to a winning formula. Portugal name the same XI that started the goalless draw with, and subsequent penalty shootout victory over, Slovenia. France make two changes after their 1-0 win over Belgium. Eduardo Camavinga and Randal Kolo Muani come in for Marcus Thuram, who drops to the bench, and the suspended Adrien Rabiot.

Preamble

These two need to up their game. After their underwhelming performances in the round of 16, which palled in comparison with the entertainment laid on by the likes of Spain, Germany, Austria and Turkey, Portugal and France owe us one. Another of those exhilarating back-and-forths, please, like the pair contested in the 1984 and 2000 semis, and we’ll forget the Slovenia and Belgium games ever happened. Kick-off is at 8pm BST. It’s on!
