Player of the Match: Xherdan Shaqiri (Switzerland) |
A back pass from Johan Djourou that was too short gave Milik his first chance after half a minute. A counterattack after a Swiss corner, which Fabiański initiated with a long throw at Grosicki, gave Poland the lead in the 39th minute. Grosicki prevailed against several Swiss and crossed to the free-standing Błaszczykowski, who scored the 1-0. In the second half, Switzerland got stronger offensively; Rodríguez had a free-kick opportunity, and Seferović hit the crossbar in the 78th minute. Shaqiri finally equalized with a side pull. Switzerland, which had taken a very offensive orientation with their changes, remained game-determining in extra time. Substitute Derdiyok had the greatest chance of scoring the winner when a ball jumped into the six-yard box in the 118th minute. Xhaka missed on penalties while all Polish shooters scored.

Player of the Match: Antoine Griezmann (France) |
After Pogba Long hit the legs from behind in the penalty area, Brady scored the fastest goal of the tournament with a penalty in the second minute. After France struggled to make up for this deficit in the first half, a more offensive tactic after the break made it more dominant. Griezmann scored two goals within a few minutes - first with a head from a Sagna cross, then with a foot on assist from Giroud. An emergency brake from Duffy on the double goal scorer, which led to the only red card in the tournament, shortly before the penalty area brought the preliminary decision, Ireland could no longer develop a goal threat if they were outnumbered. In the closing stages only France had a chance, the hosts made it through to the quarter-finals.

Iceland managed to win against the British, who were mostly classified as favored.

A goalkeeper mistake by Hart, who couldn't parry a Sigþórsson shot, gave Iceland the lead in the 18th minute. In the course of the game, England hardly managed to develop a goal risk despite significantly more possession and numerous set pieces, so it stayed at 1: 2. England coach Roy Hodgson announced his retirement immediately after the game.

Player of the Match: Manuel Neuer (Germany) |
According to experts, Germany and Italy were considered to be the teams that were most convincing in the course of the tournament. Italy started very committed and pressed high, so that the German national team had little access to midfield and could not play their passing game as usual. In the course of the first half, Germany gained more play, but with few scoring chances. A goal by the early substitute Bastian Schweinsteiger was not recognized because of an offensive foul (27th). Italy remained dangerous again and again with long balls in the top. In the course of the second half, Germany took a 1-0 lead through Mesut Özil (65th). Mario Gómez, who had already initiated the 1-0, failed with a heel shot (68th). After a handball by Jérôme Boateng, Leonardo Bonucci was able to equalize with a penalty to make it 1-1 (78th). In extra time, the game was still characterized by tactics. Seven shooters failed in the penalty shoot-out - Simone Zaza, Thomas Müller, Mesut Özil, Graziano Pellè, Leonardo Bonucci, Bastian Schweinsteiger and Matteo Darmian - more than ever before in a European Championship penalty shootout . Jonas Hector converted the decisive penalty, with which Germany was able to eliminate Italy for the first time after nine tournament games at an EM or World Cup.
The Italian national team also played in a mourning ribbon, as nine compatriots were killed in the hostage-taking in Dhaka .

The French national team made a powerful start to the game and increasingly pushed Germany on the defensive. After a combination, Antoine Griezmann had the first dangerous goal chance of the game (7th). After ten minutes, the German national team found their way into the game and controlled the game from then on. Scoring opportunities by Emre Can (14th) and Bastian Schweinsteiger (26th) could not be used. In the stoppage time of the first half, the French national team was awarded a hand penalty by Bastian Schweinsteiger after a corner kick. Antoine Griezmann was able to use this to make it 1-0 (45th + 2 ′). In the second half, Germany continued to control the game and France lurked on the counterattack. After a chain of errors in the German penalty area, France scored the 2-0 (72nd). Antoine Griezmann was again the goal scorer with his sixth goal in the tournament. In the remaining playing time, the German national team was able to create some noteworthy chances, such as a shot in the post by Joshua Kimmich (74th). But this no longer led to the goal. France moved into their fifth final in a major tournament (World Cup or European Championship).

Player of the Match: Pepe (Portugal) |
The Portuguese did not manage to find their way into the game properly at first, which was reflected in the hectic pace of the Portuguese game. In addition, Cristiano Ronaldo had to be replaced in the 25th minute after a violent clash with Payet (8th). Within the first half, however, Portugal was able to organize itself again and got more control in their game. For the French, Moussa Sissoko stood out in particular, who appeared in front of Patrício several times and otherwise played a good game. France showed little exploitation of opportunities. Although the French team completely dominated the game up to the last 15 minutes, they made it despite great chances, e.g. B. Griezmann's header (66th), Sissoko's long-range shot (84th) or the post shot from five meters by substitute Gignac (90 + 2 ′) failed to accommodate the ball in the Portuguese goal. After the latter had acted offensively since the 75th minute, they continued the same way in extra time. After Éder's header (104th), which Lloris was still able to fend off, and Raphaël Guerreiro's crossbar shot with a free kick, Éder managed to shoot the ball flat into the left corner from 24 meters (109th), which gave the lead and by which Portugal won the final.
