Swiss oust France, advance in Euro

Au revoir, France — this summer belongs to Yann Sommer.

The Switzerland goalkeeper, who left in the middle of the European Championship’s group stage to be with his wife for the birth of their second daughter, made the biggest save of his life against one of the best players in the world — diving to his right to save the final penalty by Kylian Mbappé

That gave the Swiss a 5-4 penalty shootout victory over World Cup champion France on Monday and a spot in the quarterfinals of a major soccer tournament for the first time in 67 years. The match had finished 3-3.

Spain reached the quarters when Alvaro Morata

and Mikel Oyarzabal

scored in extra time for a 5-3 win over Croatia.

Spain gifted Croatia a bizarre own-goal in the first half and then threw away a 3-1 lead but Morata made it 4-3 when he controlled a cross in the 100th minute and sent a shot past goalkeeper Dominik Livakovic.

ETC.
