Spain defeated France 2-1 in the first UEFA Euro 2024 semi-final to book a ticket to the coveted final. The first half ended 2-1 in favor of the Spaniards and Kylian Mbappe had a gesture that may seem controversial to French fans at halftime.
France started winning the match with a header by Randal Kolo Muani after a great cross by Kylian Mbappe, but Spain managed to turn the score around in just 4 minutes with goals by Lamine Yamal in the 21st minute and Dani Olmo in the 25th.
At halftime, Kylian Mbappe was seen shirtlees and holding what appeared to be a Spain jersey in his hand, hinting that the player may have swapped shirts with a Spanish player before the end of the match, something that France fans may find controversial.
