France and Portugal set an eighty-four-goal European record

France defeated Portugal 46–38 in Herning in the highest-scoring match in men’s European Championship history. Their eighty-four combined goals surpassed the eighty-one scored by Slovenia and Montenegro earlier in the tournament, while France equalled their own record of forty-six goals in a game.

France established an extraordinary 28–15 half-time lead, setting records for a team’s goals in one half and for both sides’ combined half-time total. Portugal’s missed chances and turnovers contributed to the large gap before the interval.
