[Saba Sports News] In a previous European Championship match, France defeated Belgium 1-0 with Jan Vertonghen’s own goal, securing their place in the final eight. In the 71st minute of the second half, after colliding with Theo Hernandez in the penalty area, Kylian Mbappe fell, but the referee did not award a penalty. However, after getting up, Mbappe got into a dispute with Vertonghen near the center circle, and the referee stopped the game to mediate. In the 85th minute of the second half, substitute Randal Kolo Muani took a shot in the penalty area. The ball hit Vertonghen’s knee and deflected into the net, giving France the lead with that own goal. It’s worth mentioning that after this goal, Mbappe ran up to Vertonghen and taunted him. It must be said that Mbappe’s action was quite shocking.
