    Oh my goodness, what has happened???

    France turn the game around in the space of four minutes and it is another sublime flick from Karim Benzema which creates the goal.

    The Real Madrid man backheels a pass to Antoine Griezmann in the box, Griezmann stands a cross to the far post for Benzema to nod in from a yard out.

    C'est magnifque!

    Leveller!

    That missed penalty proves costly as France regain parity.

    Antoine Griezmann plays a pass through to Karim Benzema but it is behind the Real Madrid striker.

    Benzema somehow flicks it from behind and chips a delightful finish over Yann Sommer.

    No, NO! It's still not happening for Kylian Mbappe, is it going to be one of those games??

    The key men are all involved, Karim Benzema finding Paul Pogba, who feeds Mbappe in the box but the PSG forward side-foots wide.

    How much is that save going to inspire France and live them up? You think it would.

    The referee has stopped play and is coming to the pitchside monitor.

    Inside or out? It looks a foul on the replay.

    What a tackle!

    Steven Zuber zooms down the left and is into the box, but Benjamin Pavard comes across to make a perfect sliding challenge to win the ball.

    Or does he???

    How big a moment could that be in this game, the Swiss with a golden opportunity to get daylight between the teams.

    France 0-1 Switzerland

    France are all over the place at the back and Switzerland almost grab a second.

    Breel Embolo darts into the box and pulls a tantalising ball into the six yard box, Steven Zuber thinks he has a free shot into an open net but Presnel Kimpembe sticks a big foot out to deny them a second.

    Rabiot hasn't looked comfortable all game.

    Hernandez is also on the bench...fit enough for the bench, fit enough to play.

    No side has won more European Championship matches when trailing at half time than France (4).

    At the start of the second half, Antoine Griezmann has a crack from long range but the rasping, low effort is waved wide by Yann Sommer.

    This is only the second time that France haven’t attempted any shot on target in a first half of a Euros knockout match since Opta recorded data (1980), after the semi-final of Euro 1996 v Czech Republic.

    Well they know where to begin their improvement in the second half.
