France ended its run of quarterfinal eliminations in major tournaments by beating the Netherlands 1-0 after extra time to advance to the semifinals of the Women`s European Championship for the first time. Eve Périsset converted a penalty in the 102nd minute, following Dominique Janssen`s foul on Kadidiatou Diani that was awarded by video review, to end the title defense of the Dutch.
The French exited at the quarterfinals stage in their last five international tournaments - Euro 2013, the World Cup in 2015, the Olympics in 2016, Euro 2017 and the World Cup in 2019 but the curse is over. They completed the lineup of teams in the semifinals, where Germany awaits on Wednesday. Host nation England and Sweden meet on Tuesday.
