On Sunday evening, the last quarter-final of the European Championship was played at the Stade de France. The national teams of France and Iceland faced each other in the match. Playing at home, Didier Deschamps' players are trying not to break traditions this year and win the championship again. However, Iceland had already shown their strength by defeating the English team and not losing any matches in the group stage. The match rewarded the spectators with a plethora of goals. Team line-ups: France: H. Lloris; P. Evra, S. Umtiti, L. Koscielny (72' E. Mangala), B. Sagna; B. Matuidi, P. Pogba, M. Sissoko, D. Payet (80' K. Coman), A. Griezmann; O. Giroud (60' A. Gignac). Iceland: H. Halldorsson; B. Saevarsson, A. Skulason, R. Sigurdsson, K. Arnason (46' S. Ingason); J. Gudmundsson, A. Gunnarsson, B. Bjarnasson, G. Sigurdsson; J. Boedvarsson (46' A. Finnbogason), K. Sigthorsson (83' E. Gudjohnsen). This was the eightieth game of the French national team at the national stadium: Defender Ragnar Sigurdsson played in the 3-0 defeat by Liechtenstein in 2007: France's eleven started pressing their opponents from the beginning of the match. Iceland tried to counter-attack, but Didier Deschamps' players managed to quickly return to their half. The first goal into the Icelandic goal came in the twelfth minute, when Olivier Giroud scored a great shot after a pass from Blaise Matuidi. Shortly after, Paul Pogba doubled the lead by heading in a corner kick from Antoine Griezmann. For some time, the game equaled out, but at the end of the first half, the French once again demonstrated their mastery. In the 43rd minute, Dimitri Payet scored a great shot into the bottom corner of the goal after another pass from Griezmann, and just a few moments later, Griezmann himself scored the fourth goal by escaping from the Icelandic defenders.
