France overturned a two-goal deficit to qualify for the Nations League Final Four, beating Croatia 5-4 on penalties after a 2-0 win in the quarter-final second leg at the Stade de France on Sunday.

Dayot Upamecano scored the winning spot-kick in a nervy shoot-out, in which France goalkeeper Mike Maignan made two saves, to send Les Bleus into the semi-finals against Spain. In the last four of the competition, Portugal will meet Germany in the other semi-final.

Michael Olise opened the scoring and Ousmane Dembele doubled the lead 10 minutes from time to send the game into extra time after a 2-0 defeat in Split on Thursday.

France had 22 chances in total, while Croatia failed to register a single shot on target in 120 minutes.
