Mike Maignan 7/10
FRANCE RATINGS: Not the busiest of evenings but did what he had to do when required. Chose to block De Bruyne free-kick with legs when easy take looked on in first half. Saved well in last 20 minutes Show more
Jules Kounde 8/10
Right-back whose forays forward gave France real threat throughout. Some excellent crosses into box one of which almost saw Thuram scoring. Kept busy defensively by Doku. Reuters
Dayot Upamecano 8/10
Rolled too easily by Openda allowing Belgium chance in opening half but generally coped well against the RB Leipzig striker and the threat of Lukaku. AFP
William Saliba 8/10
Centre-back produced type of cool and unruffled performances that have become the norm at club side Arsenal. A class act. Dragged shot wide at other end in second half. AP
Theo Hernandez 8/10
Belgium found some space down his left-flank on occasions but some of his recovery tackles were first class. One on Carrasco after 60 minutes was celebrated like a goal. EPA
Aurelien Tchouameni 6/10
Picked up early booking for dissent, wayward shooting throughout. Sent three opportunities over bar when well placed. Had one deflected strike saved by keeper just after break. AP
N'Golo Kante 8/10
Never been on the losing side in major tournament match for France and has been one of the best players at Euro 2024 so far. Some engine on the Al Ittihad midfielder who glides around pitch and is heaShow more
Adrien Rabiot 7/10
Blazed long-range effort way over in 20th minute in match where France had 20 attempts on goal but only two on target. Booked for foul on Doku and now misses quarter-final. AFP
Antoine Griezmann 7/10
Showed his quality – apart from managing to add to his 44 goals for France. Had one tame effort struck at Casteels early in game with next opportunity not arriving until second half when he shot wide Show more
Marcus Thuram 6/10
Played in centre of front three. Headed good chance wide of target just after half-hour mark and missed another in 50th minute that came off his shoulder. Hooked after an hour. EPA
Kylian Mbappe 7/10
Wearing a protective face mask once again, the French captain produced some moments of skill and acceleration cutting in from left that were unplayable. Left his shooting boots at home, though. Getty Show more
Randal Kolo Muani 7/10
SUBS: (On for Thuram 62’) Earned France victory when his shot was deflected into the net in 84th minute. AFP
Koen Casteels 7/10
BELGIUM RATINGS: No save to make until just after half-time when he got down well to block deflected Tchouameni effort with France only managing two shots on target despite all their chances. No chancShow more
Timothy Castagne 6/10
Given unenviable task of dealing with Mbappe but did OK. Moments where he could do nothing against pace of Real Madrid-bound attacker but this is not problem unique to Castagne. AFP
Wout Faes 7/10
Leicester City defender threw himself into tackles made numerous good blocks. Managed to put enough pressure on Thuram to put French attacker off resulting in French attacker missing several headed opShow more
Jan Vertonghen 6/10
Veteran defender had been solid at back but at key moment he allowed Muani time to get shot off that Vertonghen then deflected into his own net for match-losing own goal. EPA
Arthur Theate 7/10
Would have been expecting to have hands full with Griezmann, which he did, only for full-back Kounde to prove an even bigger threat with his crossing from down the left. Stuck to task, though. EPA
Amadou Onana 7/10
Sat alongside captain De Bruyne and produced no-nonsense performance in middle of midfield. Never stopped pressing and snapping at French heels. AFP
Kevin De Bruyne 7/10
Disciplined, defensive performance for first hour before being allowed to push forward and had one shot well saved by keeper. Almost caught out Maignan with first-half free-kick that keeper saved withShow more
Yannick Carrasco 6/10
Played on right wing as Belgium went with 4-4-2 formation and found himself in some dangerous situations only to be denied by good French defending. EPA
Jeremy Doku 7/10
Explosive operator on the wing but his final product has been inconsistent in Germany. Offered a threat once again and set-up chance for De Bruyne with fine run and pass. Caught in possession in own bShow more
Lois Openda 5/10
First start of tournament for player who scored goals for fun at Leipzig this season but pretty thankless task here with Belgium offering little service to attacking pair. Getty Images
Romelu Lukaku 6/10
Has been frustrating, goalless tournament for big striker due to his own poor finishing and VAR interventions. No sniff of goal until 70th minute here when Maignan saved his powerfully hit strike. AP
