Switzerland get the final 15 minutes started. Switzerland have never won a penalty shootout at a major tournament. They could really do with settling this before then.
France break on the counter-attack. Kante sends the ball up to Mbappe who brings it to the edge of the box and is met with four defenders. He swings a cross over to Sissoko who goes for the volley and spoons his effort high and wide.
France restart and Pavard fouls Mehmedi and he gets the yellow card. That means if France goes through then Pavard will miss the quarter-final. France 3-3 Switzerland

Benzema heads home from the far post! France are 2-1 up in just four minutes after that missed penalty. France 2-1 Switzerland
Karim Benzema equalises for France and that Ricardo Rodriguez missed penalty is all so costly.
But Ricardo Rodriguez has missed! Will that come back to haunt France? Hugo Lloris is the first French goalkeeper to save a penalty in a game at a major tournament (Euros/World Cup) since Fabien Barthez vs England at EURO 2004.
Griezmann has a go from range and fires a shot wide of the right hand post. Is that an early sign of France’s intent?
Kingsley Coman has been brought on for Clement Lenglet in the only change at half-time for France. Switzerland restart the game with the same 11. Adrien Rabiot has dropped into a left-back position as Didier Deschamps rejigs his defence into a back four.

WATCH THE GOAL-
Breel Embolo and Adrien Rabiot both go after the same aerial ball and they clash heads. It’s a nasty knock for Embolo but he’s back on his feet as the whistle goes for half-time with France trailing by a goal to nil.
Mbappe cuts in from the right but cant put his shot on target! Such has been the night for France
Did you ever think we would say that? Switzerland are playing really smart here and have created the best chances so far. This time Xhaka plays a quick one to find Embolo in the box, whose touch his a bit heavy. The players seem a bit lethargic despite the drinks break.
The referee looks like he's eager for cards tonight! Two yellows already. Shaqiri swings a free-kick from wide on the left wing into the box. Embolo heads it wide.
Griezmann launches Rabiot perfectly in the box, on the left, but the Turinese let this ball slip away in 6m. Rabiot hits a long-range shot wide. The Blues are not there for the moment.
2016 - France had not conceded a goal in the first 15 minutes of a game in a major tournament since June 2016 against Ireland in ... the round of 16 of the EURO (2-1 win in the end). Meanwhile, Mbappe takes a free kick but hits it straight into the wall. France needs better than that.
GOAL! France 0 - 1 Switzerland (Seferovic, 15’) - What a moment! Switzerland have the lead against the World champions! Stand and jump, lots of power, and perfect direction. Haris Seferovic rises highest to head Switzerland into the lead! France are under pressure now.
Griezmann and Mbappe effortlessly knock the ball down the left wing before Griezmann swings a cross into the box. It comes swirling into Benzema who tries to control the ball. Steven Zuber is the first to react for Switzerland and manages to just tap the ball away from the French striker before he can shoot.
Kick-off! We've had the drama from Copenhagen, but who will face Spain in the quarter-finals? Switzerland in all white and France in Blues. A huge roar from the crowd. Live-action begins and an early let-off for the Swiss as Varane skies a header.
Moments away from live-action...
Switzerland have crashed out in the last 16 of their last three major tournament appearances, including losing 5-4 on penalties to Poland at Euro 2016. The team will be intent on avoiding a repeat.
Key players in their backline have picked up injuries to give coach Didier Deschamps a selection headache on Monday. While Ousmane Dembele and Marcus Thuram are unavailable, Deschamps confirmed full backs Jules Kounde and Lucas Digne are also ruled out against the Swiss. Left back Lucas Hernandez, who injured his knee, has a chance to feature.
A depleted France will draw motivation from the threat of elimination as they prepare to face Switzerland in their European Championship last-16 match. Switzerland do not expect too many chances when they take on world champions France in the last 16 of the European Championship in Bucharest on Monday, so will need to take them when they get them. Stay tuned for more updates.
