France reached the semi-finals of the European Championships with a narrow extra-time victory over the Netherlands. Eve Périsset’s penalty saw her side win 1-0, and they will face Germany on Wednesday. Corinne Diacre was delighted as her French side progressed past the last eight for the first time. “This team gives absolutely everything,” she said. “They kept plugging away and they kept loyal to our game plan ... We’re here to build history. The players and the staff want to make history for ourselves.”
